The lifecycle taxonomy calls issue-ledger entries immutable after creation, while the drain's user-visible route writes related_intents into the issue

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

  • End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:195 — "capture issue-ledger entries (immutable post-create)"
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/35-drain.md:579 — "the draft, and the issue's related_intents naming it; nothing else"

04-universal-patterns puts capture issue-ledger entries in the append-only class, never modified after creation. The drain's hand-back table says a user-visible hand-back writes the intent draft and adds related_intents to the issue, which edits an existing issue record. The drain chapter also re-admits a handed-back issue only once a person changes its record. If the taxonomy holds, the drain's routing breaks it by design.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 687.

  • declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262032428223. Same End A; the drain's related_intents write is one more way the ledger changes after capture.
