itd-2610170638184486 lets the person set away open-ended, ending only when they say they are back; the mode chapter caps every away record at seven days.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/26-mode.md:41 — "ends seven days after it was set at most, so an end past that, or one already"
• End B: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-2610170638184486-every-abcd-session-keeps-a-checklist-on.md:296 — "in the app, either until a set time or open-ended; open-ended, they say when"

26-mode allows an away record with no end, but says every record ends at most seven days after it was set and refuses any later end. The checklist draft's product-thinker decision says the person sets away either until a time or open-ended, and that when it is open-ended they say when they are back. An open-ended away that only the person's word ends cannot also lapse by itself after seven days.
