itd-53 says entries with no backend stay deferred; the intent chapter says such entries stay owed
A terminology drift (severity nitpick) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-53-review-queue-auto-drain-fidelity-gate.md:35— "No-backend behavior: entries staydeferred(not failed), so a headless run never blocks on an unreachable backend." - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/05-intent.md:328— "with no auditor available every entry stays owed and the summary says why nothing ran"
itd-53 names the no-backend state of a queued review deferred. The intent chapter describes the same situation, no auditor available, as every entry staying owed, and its receipt vocabulary (owed, ingested, dead-lettered) has no deferred state. The same state is named with two different words.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 554.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The code names the state owed (internal/core/capture/auditowed.go) and has no deferred state for fidelity reviews; itd-53's banner drops the drainer that used the old word.

- 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-2610262042237923A fidelity review that cannot run because no backend is reachable is 'deferred' in itd-53 and 'owed' in the verification matrix.
