The intent chapter says the audit loop was re-scoped into the last stage of the build, while the configuration chapter still stages it as a per-intent mode.

The intent chapter says the audit loop was re-scoped into the last stage of the build, while the configuration chapter still stages it as a per-intent mode.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:578 — "This per-intent shape predates itd-50's 2026-09-21 re-scope, which makes the loop the last stage of abcd build rather than a per-intent mode"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:415 — "Audit-loop mode and budget (staged: itd-50) are elected per intent, in the intent's own frontmatter rather than in config.json"

05-intent records that the per-intent audit-mode shape predates a re-scope that makes the loop the last stage of abcd build rather than a per-intent mode. 03-configuration presents the staged audit-loop mode and budget as chosen per intent, in each intent's own frontmatter. Anyone building the loop from the configuration chapter would build the shape the intent chapter calls superseded.
