The identity chapter says bare abcd lint is the gate for positioning drift, but the lint chapter says no gate invokes bare abcd lint and the identity target runs in no gate

The identity chapter says bare abcd lint is the gate for positioning drift, but the lint chapter says no gate invokes bare abcd lint and the identity target runs in no gate

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/19-identity.md:89 — "and exits 0 even when it reports drift: it is a status render, and the gate is"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/16-lint.md:144 — "No gate in this repository invokes bare abcd lint."

19-identity justifies the identity report's exit 0 on drift by saying the gate is bare abcd lint, and says the blocker severity turns the family into a hard lint gate. 16-lint says no gate in this repository invokes bare abcd lint and that the identity target runs in no gate. The drift the identity chapter treats as gated is therefore gated nowhere, and a blocker severity has nothing to block.
