itd-179 has intent ready refuse when grounds are absent; the intent chapter reports the readiness gate's grounds row as advisory, never withholding readiness.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-179-the-reasoning-behind-what-was-pursued-no.md:27 — "A grounds argument on intent ready and on the capture triage routes (promote / resolve / wontfix), refusal on absence."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:325 — "and the grounds row (a discipline record is exempt: it carries no conjecture of its own) are reported as advisory and never withhold readiness"

itd-179's scope puts a grounds argument on intent ready with refusal on absence. 05-intent's readiness gate lists the grounds row among the rows reported as advisory that never withhold readiness, their refusals parked, and makes recording grounds an optional write of the gate. A gate that refuses without grounds and one that reports READY without them are different gates.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. ready.go documents the grounds check as advisory.
