itd-147 says a chapter's prose above the generated appendix never states a flag or sub-verb; the docs chapter's prose states which of its verbs take the configuration and root

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

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-147-the-brief-s-surface-chapters-are-a.md:90 — "the prose above it never states a flag or sub-verb"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/10-docs.md:121 — "The two citation leaves alone accept the docs-lint.json to load and the repo to work over"

itd-147 rules that shape claims live only in the generated appendix and the prose above its marker states no flag and no sub-verb. 10-docs, above its marker, says by hand which citation leaves accept the docs-lint configuration and the repo, and that the citation parent and the fidelity verbs take neither. That is a flag-shape claim in hand-written prose.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. itd-147's own audit notes record the narrowing of what the prose check fires on; the chapter satisfies the current rule.
