The configuration chapter rules out an autodrain config knob on purpose; shipped itd-53 scopes an opt-in review.autodrain key

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

End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:411 — "There is deliberately no autodrain config knob — receipt gating is part of the seam contract"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-53-review-queue-auto-drain-fidelity-gate.md:34 — "An opt-in review.autodrain configuration (default off)"

03-configuration says owed-review draining is receipt gating in the run seam, and that there is on purpose no autodrain config knob. itd-53, in shipped/, puts an opt-in review.autodrain configuration in scope, off by default, to drain pending fidelity reviews. Someone building from itd-53 would add the key that the configuration model rules out.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 915.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The shipped intent says its scope is read through the re-scope paragraph, which removes the autodrain configuration the quoted scope line still lists.

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.
