itd-86's cold reading takes exactly one target document; the implement brief says a cold reading is handed the union of every position's paths

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

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/drafts/itd-86-cold-reading-surface.md:29 — "A surface that takes exactly one target document and produces candidate detections against the constraints visible in that document alone."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/27-implement.md:154 — "The reading corpus is derived, never restated: the union of every position's object.paths in the checkout's committed .abcd/config/reading-presets.json"

itd-86 defines the cold reading as a pass over exactly one document, judged against the constraints visible in that document alone. The implement chapter derives what a cold reading is handed as the union of every position's object.paths in the reading presets, and an entry there may be a directory that covers everything beneath it. The two documents disagree on what the cold reading's input is.
