Development record
The spec-steps intent has `implement step` and the spec's steps share one word; the build chapter says steps and stages are two words for two things.
The spec-steps intent has implement step and the spec's steps share one word; the build chapter says steps and stages are two words for two things.
A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/34-build.md:388— "A spec's steps and a lane's stages are two words for two things" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609212103565953-a-spec-lists-its-steps-and-the-build.md:43— "implement step(the loop's step interface) and this section share the word, and the command page says so"
itd-2609212103565953 puts 'one word' in scope: the loop's step interface, implement step, and the spec's ## Steps section share the word step, and the command page says so. 34-build.md records ruling BU1 the other way: a spec's steps and a lane's stages are two words for two things, and state version 4 renamed the lane's step to stage so that step names only the spec's steps. One document makes the shared word the rule; the other removes it as a confusion.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 752.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The resolved issue says the glossary and pages now keep step for the spec's piece only, which is what 34-build and the code (schema version 4) do.

- dcn-26102711123305362026-10-27 — The product thinker accepted on 2026-10-27 the triage of the 1301 records the 2026-10-26 consistency pass filed. The duplicates, the records a later record already settles, the ones that are no contradiction and the one already fixed are closed with each reader's reason. Every other record gets its fix as its remedy, the rulings' accepted answers included, so a drain can take it. The 45 major records left open are deferred past v0.15.1, because the brief's single-home rewrite rewrites or removes most of the passages they quote. The person ruled the major rulings one at a time; the minor rulings take their recommended answers.
