itd-46 calls bare-command-as-status a universal abcd convention; the intent chapter says it is a common convention, not a universal one

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

  • End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-46-abcd-intent-quoted-text-create-symmetric.md:18 — "The bare command (zero arguments) keeps doing what the universal abcd convention says it must: shows status and help, never mutates state."
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:344 — "Bare-command-as-help is a common abcd convention, not a universal one"

itd-46 rests its bare-form behaviour on what the universal abcd convention says it must do. The intent chapter says outright that bare-command-as-help is a common abcd convention, not a universal one, and names commands that print help or a version block instead of a board. One document asserts a rule with no exceptions and the other asserts that exceptions exist.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 550.
