Development record

'memory' names the curated knowledge namespace .abcd/memory/ and also the agent memory-notes file .abcd/memory.json

issuewontfixminoriss-2610262044356372

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

End A: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-2610091918433290-an-agent-working-in-an-abcd-managed.md:64 — "the project's .abcd/memory.json holds promoted notes"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-36-memory-unification.md:23 — "The same .abcd/memory/ namespace also receives synthesised principles from session memory"

itd-36 makes .abcd/memory/ the namespace for distilled knowledge pages and session-memory principles. itd-2610091918433290 adds .abcd/memory.json in the same .abcd/ root for promoted agent memory notes, a different store with a different curator. Two concepts sit under one name side by side.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1217.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262034298178. Same two-stores-one-word finding, checked against the memory-unification intent instead of the library chapter.

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-2610262034298178The memory-notes intent keeps agent notes in `.abcd/memory.json` under `/abcd:memory`; the library chapter's memory store is `.abcd/memory/` under `abcd library`.
