The brief index says delivery state never lives in brief prose; every surface chapter records each verb's shipped or staged existence in its prose table

The brief index says delivery state never lives in brief prose; every surface chapter records each verb's shipped or staged existence in its prose table

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/README.md:13 — "lives in the roadmap dashboard, never in brief prose"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/10-docs.md:17 — "non-assessment verb) and its existence (shipped / staged)"

The brief README says current delivery state lives in the roadmap dashboard, never in brief prose. The docs chapter, like every surface chapter, carries a machine-checked table whose rows record each verb's existence as shipped or staged, verified against the command-tree snapshot. That is per-verb delivery state stated in brief prose.
