The intent chapter's loop treats INCONCLUSIVE as fail-closed with no iteration; itd-50 rules that an undecided criterion fails the round and reopens the work as NOT_MET does.
The intent chapter's loop treats INCONCLUSIVE as fail-closed with no iteration; itd-50 rules that an undecided criterion fails the round and reopens the work as NOT_MET does.
A premise contradiction (severity major) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:592— "no iterate, no summons, no replan; never flips toUNACHIEVABLE" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-50-loop-toward-acceptance.md:105— "a criterion the audit could not decide fails the round exactly as a not-met one does"
05-intent's state-coverage table maps INCONCLUSIVE to no iterate, no summons and no replan, never flipping to UNACHIEVABLE, and states the loop trigger is NOT_MET only. itd-50's decision 5 (ruling DQ1a) says a criterion the audit could not decide fails the round exactly as a not-met one does, sending the lane back to a fresh implementer, and records that it supersedes the fail-closed reading. The two cannot both describe what the loop does on an undecided verdict.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 505.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262033260091. Same End A (05-intent.md line 592, INCONCLUSIVE never iterates); End B is itd-50 decision 5 instead of 34-build.md, stating the same ruling.

- 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.
- iss-2610262033260091The intent chapter's audit-loop table never iterates on an INCONCLUSIVE verdict and never rolls it up as UNACHIEVABLE; the build chapter's fix loop fails the round on INCONCLUSIVE exactly as on NOT_MET.
