itd-39 reuses the rules loader's context brackets from itd-3, but itd-3's loader defines no brackets

issuewontfixminoriss-2610262044561718

A sequencing impossibility (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

End A: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-39-scope-aware-memory-retrieval.md:75 — "Memory recall uses the rules loader's context brackets (itd-3)"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-3-modular-rules-loader.md:30 — "keyword-matches the prompt against each domain's recall list, injects matching rules as a system message"

itd-39 rules that memory recall shares the rules loader's context brackets (itd-3), with no thresholds tuned separately for memory. itd-3's hook keyword-matches the prompt against each domain's recall list and injects every matching rule; its scope has no gating by remaining context budget and no FRESH, MODERATE or DEPLETED bracket. The dependency points at a mechanism the intent it names never provides, so either itd-39 must build the brackets itself or another record must supply them.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1240.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262039330569. Same End A (itd-39 line 75 credits context brackets to the rules loader); itd-3 never had them, as the other record shows from the configuration 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-2610262039330569itd-39 reuses the rules loader's context brackets (itd-3); the configuration chapter's loader has no context brackets and attributes the budget bracket to itd-39 itself
