itd-2609212103568351 lists every READY intent under Next; the board's surface page lists the pick's head under Now alone and never under Next.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609212103568351-the-bare-abcd-status-board-and-the-site.md:40 — "every planned intent the readiness gate reports READY, in pick order"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/08-abcd.md:329 — "intent the readiness gate reports READY: the head is listed under Now alone,"

The status-board intent says Next is every planned intent the readiness gate reports READY, in pick order, and that Now is never empty while anything is READY. 08-abcd.md says Next lists every other READY intent because the head is listed under Now alone, never also under Next, and that Now is empty only when no READY intent may start. Under the intent the head appears in both lists and Now is never empty beside a READY intent; under the surface page neither holds.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The intent's audit notes say the criterion text no longer describes the board.
