The glossary defines an intent as a press-release-shaped description of a feature; the intent chapter's discipline kind of intent skips the press release entirely.
The glossary defines an intent as a press-release-shaped description of a feature; the intent chapter's discipline kind of intent skips the press release entirely.
A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/intent.md:4— "A press-release-shaped description of a feature written before implementation begins, capturing the user problem, proposed solution, and success criteria." - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:99— "Discipline-kind intents skip the press release entirely (no user moment to describe; no customer quote to attribute)."
glossary/core/intent.md defines an intent as 'A press-release-shaped description of a feature written before implementation begins'. 05-intent declares discipline as one of three intent kinds, and says discipline-kind intents skip the press release entirely, state a rule rather than a feature, and never get a spec. The glossary's definition leaves out one of the three kinds the intent chapter declares, so the chapter uses 'intent' more widely than the glossary allows.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 449.
