The manual-hold draft lifts a hold with a native `spec rm-dep`; the verification matrix says the spec core has no graph and `spec` has one sub-verb.

The manual-hold draft lifts a hold with a native spec rm-dep; the verification matrix says the spec core has no graph and spec has one sub-verb.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/06-delivery/02-verification-matrix.md:33 — "the spec core carries no graph, and spec registers one sub-verb"
• End B: .abcd/development/intents/drafts/itd-57-manual-hold-sentinel.md:17 — "To unblock, one native spec rm-dep lifts the hold."

itd-57 assumes native spec dependencies, holds placed through depends_on and lifted with spec rm-dep. The matrix stages the dependency graph over specs and says the spec core carries no graph and spec registers a single sub-verb. Neither the dependency nor the verb that removes it exists.
