itd-117 puts the user-scope rules file at ~/.abcd/rules.json; the memory chapter puts the user scope under ~/.abcd.noindex/

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

  • End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-117-development-instructions-live-in-the.md:19 — "now live once in ~/.abcd/rules.json"
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/07-memory.md:14 — "| user | ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/ |"

itd-117 says machine conventions now live once in ~/.abcd/rules.json, the user scope that already exists for machine-local shared state. The memory chapter, describing the same two .abcd/ scopes, locates the user scope under ~/.abcd.noindex/ (~/.abcd.noindex/memory/). The user-level home cannot be both directories, so a user following the shipped intent would write their rules where the loader does not look.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1009.

Grounds

  • declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. Same rename; the memory chapter is current-state brief and follows the later record.

  • 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.
