itd-3 explicitly rejects a personal cross-repo ~/.abcd/rules.json; itd-117 ships exactly that user-scope rules file

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

End A: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-117-development-instructions-live-in-the.md:19 — "now live once in ~/.abcd/rules.json and inject into every"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-3-modular-rules-loader.md:41 — "explicitly rejected. Keeping a personal cross-repo rules file recreates exactly the"

itd-3 records a global ~/.abcd/rules.json as explicitly rejected and rules the loader per-repo only, because a personal cross-repo rules file recreates the scaffolding-outside-the-repo failure. itd-117 introduces a user-scope rules layer in that same file, injected into every repository abcd manages, and does not record that it reverses itd-3. The two records cannot both describe the loader's layers: one says the user layer is rejected by design, the other says it exists between the bundled defaults and the repo file.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1239.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. itd-3's delivered-versus-promised notes name itd-117 and cite internal/core/rules/rules.go for the user layer; nothing needs an edit.

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.
