Development record
A person's preferences have two user-level homes: the memory chapter's `~/.abcd.noindex/memory/` pages and the memory-notes intent's `~/.abcd.noindex/memory.json`.
A person's preferences have two user-level homes: the memory chapter's ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/ pages and the memory-notes intent's ~/.abcd.noindex/memory.json.
A scope leakage (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/05-internals/07-memory.md:14— "~/.abcd.noindex/memory/| Personal preferences and cross-project principles that have no single repo home" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-2610091918433290-an-agent-working-in-an-abcd-managed.md:64— "The machine's~/.abcd.noindex/memory.jsonholds personal notes"
07-memory.md sends personal preferences and cross-project lessons to the user-scope page store ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/, curated by principle-distiller. itd-2610091918433290 puts personal notes, which the glossary describes as a person's preferences and lessons, in ~/.abcd.noindex/memory.json, written by agents. Neither says which store a personal preference belongs in, so the same knowledge is claimed by two stores with different writers and lifecycles.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 968.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262037016704. The intent's 2026-10-11 decision is the source of 37-memory's memory.json layers, so End B is the same conflict as iss-2610262037016704.

- 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-2610262037016704The memory internals chapter homes keyword-recalled personal and project memory in ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/ and .abcd/memory/; the memory verb homes the same in two memory.json layers.
