itd-138's install script finishes by running abcd version; 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-138-bob-installs-abcd-with-one-checksum.md:25 — "print the PATH fix when needed, and finish with abcd version"
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:156 — "version is the root's --version flag (itd-2609212130136102), not a verb"

itd-138 says the install script, rendered from the same template as the README one-liner, finishes with abcd version. The surfaces register says version is the root's --version flag and not a verb, so the final step the intent describes invokes a command that the brief's verb tables do not register.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 878.

Grounds

  • declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The register names the record that made the change, and the template is current.
