Development record

The load-check intent keeps the per-machine limits under ~/.abcd/; the implement chapter keeps them at ~/.abcd.noindex/load-limits.

issuewontfixminoriss-2610262037558450

A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/27-implement.md:253 — "The limits live in the caller's machine tier, ~/.abcd.noindex/load-limits"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609231434459890-abcd-s-own-test-lanes-check-the-machine.md:78 — "Per-machine limits in a settings file under ~/.abcd/"

itd-2609231434459890, in its scope and its decision 5, puts the per-machine limits in a settings file under ~/.abcd/. 27-implement.md reads them from ~/.abcd.noindex/load-limits. The one machine tier carries two names. Since itd-2610030720038073 renamed the home and has an existing ~/.abcd stop every abcd command, a limits file placed where the intent says is never read.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 759.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The intent shipped before the user scope was renamed; the shipped rename intent and its ADR say which name holds, and the code (machineload/limits.go) reads the .abcd.noindex path.

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.
