'Memory verbs' names the library's curation of .abcd/memory/, while /abcd:memory is a separate verb over memory notes

A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

  • End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:1139 — "New projects use .abcd/memory/, the substrate abcd library curates through its memory verbs."
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/37-memory.md:3 — "/abcd:memory keeps memory notes: short lessons an agent writes so that a later session does not learn them again"

The configuration chapter says the repository's .abcd/memory/ substrate is curated by abcd library through its memory verbs. The memory chapter gives the name memory to a top-level verb that keeps short notes in memory.json files. The one name now covers two different stores side by side in .abcd/. A reader looking for the memory verbs that curate .abcd/memory/ lands on a verb that writes a different file for a different purpose.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 683.
