agents puts press-release-composer under cite-or-be-dropped validation; disembark says the press release is accepted or refused as a whole

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/01-agents.md:20 — "each feeding one verb that validates its output under a cite-or-be-dropped rule"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/02-disembark.md:185 — "The document stands or falls whole"

The agent catalog groups press-release-composer with the agents whose output is validated under a cite-or-be-dropped rule, and contrasts that with the changelog composer, whose payload is refused whole. The disembark chapter says the press release stands or falls whole: a payload citing none of the required paths is refused with exit 2. By the catalog's own terms, that is refusal as a whole, not cite-or-be-dropped.
