The cloud-session intent admits work-in-progress branches without a receipt as an entry in the reservation build's list; the reserve brief admits receipt-less pushes only when every commit has the empty tree

A sequencing impossibility (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-2610120738075547-a-person-hands-an-item-from-their.md:129 — "the push hook admits such a branch without a preflight receipt as one entry of its declared list of receipt-less prefixes (the list the reservation build introduces)"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/37-reserve.md:111 — "The committed pre-push hook lets a push under the prefix through without a preflight receipt only when every commit it moves has the empty tree."

The cloud intent lets a cloud session's work-in-progress branch past the push hook without a preflight receipt by adding it to the receipt-less prefix list that the reservation build introduced. That branch carries the session's actual changes. The reserve chapter says what that admission requires: a push under the prefix passes without a receipt only when every commit it moves has the empty tree. A branch of real changes fails that condition, so the dependency as written cannot admit it.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): the two ends do not conflict when read in full. The hook already declares per-prefix rows, and the work-in-progress row passes only a branch of one record id whose commits pass the attribution gate, so the dependency the intent names exists.
