launch's citation-baseline row refuses on an overdue citation; docs says the launch preflight only names what would stop a release, while the release still cuts

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/04-launch.md:338 — "against their receipts and refuses on a broken, unreceipted or overdue one."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/10-docs.md:228 — "which names what the citation baseline would stop a release on while a release still cuts."

04-launch.md says the citation-baseline row of the pre-flight suite refuses on a broken, unreceipted or overdue citation. 10-docs.md says launch computes its own citation preflight and that this preflight names what the citation baseline would stop a release on, while a release still cuts. In docs, only the lint's release-gate flag, passed by the release workflow, makes an overdue citation a blocker, and no committed config can arm it. Either the cut refuses on an overdue citation without that flag, or it still cuts.
