The decide chapter says a decision record is never edited; the lifecycle taxonomy puts the decisions folder in the compounding-curated class, whose pages are modified, contradicted and deprecated.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/24-decide.md:68 — "A record is never edited; a correction is a new"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:196 — "Accumulates across sessions/runs; pages added, modified, contradicted, deprecated by curator. Carries provenance per entry; lint surfaces drift between curated form and source-of-truth. | .abcd/memory/ (multi-upstream knowledge substrate per itd-36), .abcd/work/ (shared working record — CONTEXT.md, the .abcd/work/decisions/ folder"

24-decide states that a decision record is never edited and that a correction is a new record, which is the append-only class's behaviour. 04-universal-patterns places .abcd/work/decisions/ under Compounding-curated, defined as pages added, modified, contradicted and deprecated by a curator. The taxonomy says lint blocks a namespace whose curation behaviour disagrees with its declared class, so the folder cannot be both.
