itd-117 puts the user rules layer at ~/.abcd/rules.json; the configuration chapter puts it under ~/.abcd.noindex/ and treats any entry at ~/.abcd as a stop

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

End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-117-development-instructions-live-in-the.md:19 — "now live once in ~/.abcd/rules.json and inject into every"
End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:702 — "The folder's earlier name, ~/.abcd, is read by abcdhome.Check alone, with Lstat, and never by a reader"

itd-117 says the machine's shared conventions live once in ~/.abcd/rules.json. The configuration chapter says the user layer is ~/.abcd.noindex/rules.json. It also says the folder's earlier name ~/.abcd is never read by a reader, and while any entry stands there every command and hook writes nothing and prints the rename. Someone following the intent would create the very path that halts abcd.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 871.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. Decisions 6 and 7 of the rename intent introduce the stop on the old folder; the shipped intent itd-117 cannot have named them.

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.
