itd-111 says abcd version always shows install mode and vintage; the surfaces register says version is a root flag, not a verb

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

• End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-111-a-stale-abcd-never-answers-silently.md:23 — "abcd version and abcd ahoy always show install"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:156 — "version is the root's --version flag (itd-2609212130136102), not a verb"

itd-111 says abcd version and abcd ahoy always show install mode and vintage. The surfaces register says version is the root's --version flag, not a verb, and lists no version verb in either of its tables of registered verbs. The intent's claim names a command that the register says the binary does not register.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The surfaces README names itd-2609212130136102 as the record that made version a root flag; itd-111 predates it.
