The recurrence draft says the ledger folds a match into the closed entry, but the shipped matcher always writes a new record and links it as a duplicate

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

  • End A: .abcd/development/intents/drafts/itd-87-recurrence-escalation-in-capture.md:17 — "the ledger no longer quietly folds it into the closed entry"
  • End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-2609212137116617-a-new-capture-or-draft-is-matched.md:40 — "a likely match is written onto the new record as duplicates: (near-identical) or refines: (narrower), naming the candidate"

itd-87's premise is that today a finding matching a resolved or wontfixed entry is folded into the closed entry and its evidence destroyed. itd-2609212137116617 compares new text with open and resolved issues and writes a new record carrying a duplicates: or refines: link, never dropping anything. The draft describes current behaviour wrongly, and its recurrence-versus-duplicate distinction falls on the link vocabulary the shipped record defines.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1202.

Grounds

  • declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262034242423. Same contradiction with the shipped matcher intent as the capture chapter version: the draft says the ledger folds a match away, the shipped matcher writes a new record with a duplicates: or refines: link.
