Development record
The README's `abcd rules` loads a machine-wide rules.json layer, which itd-3 explicitly rejects.
The README's abcd rules loads a machine-wide rules.json layer, which itd-3 explicitly rejects.
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:283— "the bundled default domains, then the machine's~/.abcd.noindex/rules.json, then the" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-3-modular-rules-loader.md:41— "Keeping a personal cross-repo rules file recreates exactly the"
The rules verb section says the loader reads the bundled domains, then the machine's ~/.abcd.noindex/rules.json, then the checkout's .abcd/rules.json. itd-3, the shipped intent the README names as delivering rules, lists a global user rules file as explicitly rejected, because it recreates the scaffolding-outside-the-repo failure, and says the loader is per-repo only. itd-3 does not record the later reversal, so the two documents give opposite answers on whether a user layer exists.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 880.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262038011053. Same itd-3 out-of-scope line against a different document that reads the machine layer.

- 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.
- iss-2610262038011053The rules-loader intent rejects a machine-wide rules.json; the memory chapter reads a machine memory.json beside a machine rules.json layer.
