itd-40 has ahoy create `~/.abcd/history/`; 03-configuration says no reader ever reads the old `~/.abcd` name and that its presence stops every command.

itd-40 has ahoy create ~/.abcd/history/; 03-configuration says no reader ever reads the old ~/.abcd name and that its presence stops every command.

A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:702 — "The folder's earlier name, ~/.abcd, is read by"
• End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-40-folder-classification.md:36 — "if ~/.abcd/history/ does not exist, the first /abcd:ahoy install creates it (directory + index.json) before registering the repo."

itd-40 says that if ~/.abcd/history/ does not exist, the first /abcd:ahoy install creates it. 03-configuration says the home is now ~/.abcd.noindex/, that only the stop check reads the earlier name ~/.abcd, and that anything standing there stops every command until it is renamed. Followed as written, itd-40 creates the very path the brief treats as a stop. Other shipped intents repeat the old spelling.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. Both were true when written; the later shipped rename intent (which covers the whole home and names the superseding records) says which spelling holds.
