Development record
The reading-position glossary says `comparative` does not assemble and refuses for want of a channel; the comparative-reading intent says it can now be commissioned and assembles a derived widening run
The reading-position glossary says comparative does not assemble and refuses for want of a channel; the comparative-reading intent says it can now be commissioned and assembles a derived widening run
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/reading-position.md:60— "comparativedoes not assemble and refuses: its object has no channel." - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609020625407419-a-comparative-reading-receives-the.md:21— "The comparative reading can now be commissioned."
The glossary's worked example says the comparative position does not assemble and refuses, because its object has no channel. That was itd-199's ruling. The shipped comparative-reading intent withdraws that refusal under adr-2609021016272867: reading assemble --position comparative derives the one undispositioned widening run at the target and hands its items over as the candidate set. The comparative position cannot both refuse to assemble and assemble, so the canonical glossary teaches the superseded behaviour.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1011.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262035439719. Same End A (comparative does not assemble) and the same later ruling, adr-2609021016272867, which the shipped comparative-reading intent records.

- 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.
