Development record

abcd's user-level home is ~/.abcd.noindex/ in itd-39 and ~/.abcd/ in itd-76

issuewontfixminoriss-2610262045119850

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

End A: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-39-scope-aware-memory-retrieval.md:35 — "the hook queries the index.md of both memory scopes (<workspace>/.abcd/memory/ and ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/)"
End B: .abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-76-source-provenance-ledger.md:18 — "abcd's user-level home, ~/.abcd/sources/ by default"

itd-39 puts the user's memory scope at ~/.abcd.noindex/memory/. itd-76 puts the sources corpus in abcd's user-level home at ~/.abcd/sources/ by default. These are two different paths for the one user-level home, so a reader cannot tell which directory the user scope lives in.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 1257.

Grounds

declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): a later record already settles which end holds. itd-2610030720038073 decision 2 renames the home from ~/.abcd to ~/.abcd.noindex, and decision 4 says the reversals are made by superseding records, never by amending old ones; the code resolves the home through abcdhome.

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.
