The intent chapter ships a bounded drain for owed audits, while the configuration chapter says nothing drains today.

The intent chapter ships a bounded drain for owed audits, while the configuration chapter says nothing drains today.

A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:328 — "The bounded command that pays the review debt"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:408 — "No run seam ships, so nothing drains today."

05-intent describes the audit sub-verb's owed form as the shipped bounded command that pays the review debt: oldest shipped first, up to a cap. 03-configuration says that because no run seam ships, nothing drains today. Owed fidelity reviews either have a shipped drain or have none.
