itd-130 names an abcd version --check command; the surfaces register says version is the root's --version flag, not a verb

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

  • End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-130-abcd-update-completes-a-chosen-update-in.md:32 — "typed abcd version --check on the machine where they first installed the"
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:156 — "version is the root's --version flag (itd-2609212130136102), not a verb"

itd-130's press release has the user type abcd version --check to learn an update is available, and it builds abcd update as the completion of that check. The surfaces register says version is the root's --version flag and not a verb, and its two verb tables together name every verb the binary registers. Neither table lists version, so the command the intent names does not exist on the surface the brief describes.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 876.

Grounds

  • declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. Same retirement as the sibling records; the register names the record that made the change.
