A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/plan.md:51 — "only for the intent verb and its sign-off. Qualify every other use"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/35-drain.md:194 — "The plan, the lane's start check, the judgement's remedy digest and the reservation's footprint all read that snapshot"

plan.md says bare "plan" is used only for the intent verb and its sign-off, every other sense qualified, and never for the order of work. 35-drain.md writes "The plan", unqualified, for the classification and ordering a drain move derives from its snapshot of origin's ledger. The bare word carries a sense the glossary withholds from it.
