The build intent arms auto-merge wherever the ruleset gates merges through a queue, but the land page says AM1 arms it only where a queue and a required approval both exist
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

Decision 3 of itd-2609201916151817 arms auto-merge on a pull request wherever the ruleset gates it through a queue. The land page says the shared merge gate follows ruling AM1, which arms auto-merge only where a merge queue gates the default branch and a ruleset requires a person's approval. A repository with a queue but no required approval is armed under the intent and left alone under the land page.

- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262037294601. Same AM1 contradiction checked against the land page instead of the build chapter.

- 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.
