Development record

On 2026-10-31 abcd build itd-2610170638184486 was refused at the peers check by backup/sota-open-intents-pre-rebase, a local branch an agent made as a safety copy before rebasing research/sota-open-intents onto main; it held the intent's old drafts/ copy, while main and the rebased branch held it in planned/. The peers check reads every local branch under refs/heads/ (internal/core/peers/read.go) and cannot tell a safety copy from live work, and the guard then refused the branch's deletion (git-delete-unproven) because a rebase that squashed and resolved conflicts leaves no ancestry or patch-equivalence for it to prove, so the build stayed blocked until the person allowed the delete by hand. abcd teaches no safe form of the backup: a tag, or a ref outside refs/heads/, would have kept the copy and blocked nothing.
