The glossary reserves bare 'surface' for a verb's front door and 'rendered surface' for identity-held text; the identity chapter uses bare 'surface' for identity-held text throughout

A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/surface.md:45 — "The verb takes an object and needs no qualifier; the noun without one always means the front door."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/19-identity.md:6 — "tells the product thinker which surfaces have drifted"

surface.md says the noun without a qualifier always means the front door, and names 19-identity.md as the home of the qualified sense 'a rendered surface'. The identity chapter calls the README strapline, plugin manifest and conventions-file opening 'surfaces' with no qualifier ('which surfaces have drifted', 'A surface can also come back unlocatable') and never writes 'rendered surface', so a reader applying the glossary would read those sentences as about command front doors.
