Development record

/abcd:memory names the memory-note command in the glossary, but itd-36 names the curated knowledge substrate with ingest, ask and lint.

A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/memory-note.md:18 — "An agent writes one with /abcd:memory add when it learns something worth keeping"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-36-memory-unification.md:23 — "abcd ships /abcd:memory — a per-voyage curated knowledge substrate"

The memory-note entry, whose alias is 'memory', says an agent writes a note with /abcd:memory add, and the loader recalls it. itd-36's press release presents /abcd:memory as the curated knowledge substrate, with /abcd:memory ask, /abcd:memory lint and /abcd:memory ingest. One command name and one word refer to two different concepts, and a reader of the shipped intent will reach for sub-verbs that the command does not have.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1025.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. Both ends were true when written and the later shipped records say which holds today: the curated-pages verbs live under library, and abcd memory has add, list and remove.

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.
