The intent chapter runs the doc-fidelity gate on every close that ships an intent, while universal patterns calls that pass a draft that is not yet built.

The intent chapter runs the doc-fidelity gate on every close that ships an intent, while universal patterns calls that pass a draft that is not yet built.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:518 — "A close that ships an intent first runs the doc-fidelity gate over it"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:144 — "the doc-fidelity anti-drift pass planned under draft intent itd-60 (intents/planned/itd-60-doc-fidelity-anti-drift.md; not yet built)"

05-intent says a close that ships an intent first runs the doc-fidelity gate, and that the gate refuses the close on a missing or stale docs review. 04-universal-patterns describes the same doc-fidelity anti-drift pass as planned under a draft intent and not yet built. The gate cannot both run on every close that ships an intent and be unbuilt.
