itd-192 decides verdicts by whether this phase wires a criterion, a unit the glossary calls retired

issueopennitpickiss-2610262042302710

A terminology drift (severity nitpick) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/ledger/position.md:25 — "Do not call a position a phase (the retired sequencing unit) or a step (a landable piece of a spec); those are delivery vocabulary."
End B: .abcd/development/intents/disciplines/itd-192-an-acceptance-criterion-whose-producer.md:16 — "is judged by whether this phase wires it, not by whether the narrowing was disclosed"

The position entry calls the phase the retired sequencing unit. itd-192's single deciding question is whether this phase wires the criterion, so its verdict rule depends on the retired unit for its scope.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1074.
