Development record

The configuration chapter treats ~/.abcd as the retired home, read by no reader; itd-76 puts the sources corpus at ~/.abcd/sources/ by default

issuewontfixmajoriss-2610262040149808

A premise contradiction (severity major) 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 abcdhome.Check alone, with Lstat, and never by a reader, so no reader falls back to it."
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-76-source-provenance-ledger.md:18 — "abcd's user-level home, ~/.abcd/sources/ by default"

03-configuration says ~/.abcd is the user scope's earlier name, read only by abcdhome.Check and never by a reader. While anything stands there, every command and hook writes nothing and reports the stop, and the sources/ corpus belongs under ~/.abcd.noindex/. itd-76 gives ~/.abcd/sources/ as the corpus's default location. Creating the corpus where itd-76 says would halt every abcd command.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 918.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. The rename intent's decision 2 moves the whole home and lists sources among its stores; itd-76's old spelling was true when written.

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.
