The loop glossary keeps bare "the loop" for the record loop; the build chapter uses it bare for its run iteration.

The loop glossary keeps bare "the loop" for the record loop; the build chapter uses it bare for its run iteration.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/loop.md:50 — "for the record loop, and only where no run loop or round-trip is in view"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/34-build.md:694 — "Only the loop writes a verdict (decision 9)"

loop.md allows bare "the loop" for the record loop only where no run loop or round-trip is in view, and requires the other senses to be named in full. 34-build.md, whose subject is the build run's own loop, writes "Only the loop writes a verdict", the bare form for the run iteration.
