The register says chapters point to its bare-invocation list instead of restating it, but the announce chapter restates its bare behaviour

The register says chapters point to its bare-invocation list instead of restating it, but the announce chapter restates its bare behaviour

A scope leakage (severity nitpick) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:248 — "This paragraph is the one enumeration of the exceptions; the chapters point here rather than restating it."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/38-announce.md:34 — "Bare abcd announce refuses as a usage error naming the kinds."

README says its bare-invocation paragraph is the one enumeration of the exceptions and that the chapters point there rather than restate it. 38-announce states the exception itself: bare abcd announce refuses as a usage error naming the kinds. The same behaviour is therefore written in two places, which is the second copy the register says it avoids.
