Development record
Persona names identify stakeholder archetypes in press releases; the session-naming intent reuses them, in list order, as names for live sessions.
Persona names identify stakeholder archetypes in press releases; the session-naming intent reuses them, in list order, as names for live sessions.
A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/persona.md:4— "A placeholder stakeholder character drawn from the abcd personas registry" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2610111707085098-the-status-line-should-show-which.md:57— "Alice, Bob, Carol and on through the list, then Alice Two, Bob Two and so on"
The persona entry defines Alice, Bob, Carol and the rest as placeholder stakeholder characters from the personas registry, used in press releases and design documents and selected by role, never by name. The shipped session-naming intent assigns the same names in list order to running agent sessions. 'Alice' now means both a modelled archetype in a press release and a particular live session on the machine, and the selection rule is ignored. Some intents in the corpus use both senses in one document.

Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262038329713. Same End A and same cause; decision 2 of itd-2610111707085098 is the product thinker's ruling that session names reuse the persona list.

- 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-2610262038329713"persona" means a placeholder stakeholder from the personas registry, and also the name a session takes from a machine register.
