04-universal-patterns keeps multi-agent claims in `.abcd/coordination/` with local-only state; itd-2609091034175565 makes the reservation branch on origin the one record of who holds what.
04-universal-patterns keeps multi-agent claims in .abcd/coordination/ with local-only state; itd-2609091034175565 makes the reservation branch on origin the one record of who holds what.
A scope leakage (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:139— "Coordination state (file locks likeshape.lock, multi-agent claims per itd-33) lives at.abcd/coordination/" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609091034175565-nothing-tells-an-agent-that-a-record-it.md:211— "nothing kept only on one computer (the local tier, a note on the desktop, same-account messaging) is the source of truth for who holds what."
04-universal-patterns says coordination state, including multi-agent claims under itd-33, lives at .abcd/coordination/, with active-work.json and the locks kept local and gitignored. itd-2609091034175565 rules that nothing kept on one computer, the local tier included, decides who holds what, and that the reservation branch is the only transport. Both documents say where agent claims live, and they put them in different places.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 901.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262036565450. Same End A; itd-33 was superseded by the shipped reservation-branch intent that this record cites as End B.

- 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.
