Development record
The guard chapter says the guard writes a created-branch record, the waiting-on mode and an open-question marker; universal patterns lists `guard` among the read-only renders.
The guard chapter says the guard writes a created-branch record, the waiting-on mode and an open-question marker; universal patterns lists guard among the read-only renders.
A premise contradiction (severity nitpick) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/17-guard.md:6— "It writes nothing but the record of a branch an agent creates and, when it admits abcd's own question where the badge shows, the waiting-on mode and the marker saying a question is open" - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:90— "lintand its targets,capture,intent,guard,--version,rules,spec,identityandbanlistare read-only renders, andabcd lintin particular is documented as performing zero writes"
17-guard says the guard writes the record of a branch an agent creates and, when it admits abcd's own question, the waiting-on mode and the question_open marker. 04-universal-patterns lists guard with the verbs it calls read-only renders. A verb that writes three kinds of state is not a read-only render.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 587.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262035387982. Same End B sentence; guard is one more verb it wrongly lists among read-only renders.

- 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-2610262035387982The lint chapter says its site target writes a render; universal patterns says lint and its targets are read-only renders and that `abcd lint` is documented as performing zero writes.
