Universal patterns lean on a lint code reserved in the lint contract; the lint contract keeps no numbered code catalogue.

Universal patterns lean on a lint code reserved in the lint contract; the lint contract keeps no numbered code catalogue.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/04-universal-patterns.md:188 — "Lint blocks if a namespace's curation behaviour disagrees with its declared class (lint code reserved at 06-lint.md)."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/06-lint.md:14 — "The engine carries no numbered code catalogue: rules are named, not numbered"

04-universal-patterns says lint blocks a namespace whose curation disagrees with its declared lifecycle class and that the lint code is reserved at 06-lint.md. 06-lint says rules are named, not numbered, that literal enumerations belong only in generated regions, and it reserves no such rule. The dependency points at a reservation the lint contract does not make.
