itd-3 rejects a machine-wide rules.json outright, per-repo only; the ahoy chapter's home inventory has one as the user layer of the rules
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/01-ahoy.md:490— "the machine's rule conventions, the user layer" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-3-modular-rules-loader.md:41— "explicitly rejected. Keeping a personal cross-repo rules file recreates exactly the"
The rules-loader intent rules a personal cross-repo rules file out of scope, calls it explicitly rejected and says the loader is per-repo only. The ahoy chapter's ~/.abcd.noindex/ inventory lists a machine rules.json as the user layer between the bundled domains and each repo's .abcd/rules.json. The loader either reads a machine-wide layer or it does not. The shipped intent records no reversal of its rejection.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 377.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. itd-3's audit notes already say a machine-wide rules.json layer was added after the intent shipped (itd-117), so the later record states which holds.

- dcn-26102711123305362026-10-27 — The product thinker accepted on 2026-10-27 the triage of the 1301 records the 2026-10-26 consistency pass filed. The duplicates, the records a later record already settles, the ones that are no contradiction and the one already fixed are closed with each reader's reason. Every other record gets its fix as its remedy, the rulings' accepted answers included, so a drain can take it. The 45 major records left open are deferred past v0.15.1, because the brief's single-home rewrite rewrites or removes most of the passages they quote. The person ruled the major rulings one at a time; the minor rulings take their recommended answers.
