Record a consignment or loan: a work moves physically to a gallery, dealer, museum, or other holder without ownership changing. Use kind=consignment when the work is placed with a gallery or dealer for potential sale (typically with commission and asking price). Use kind=loan for exhibition loans, museum loans, or private loans without sale intent. TRIGGER: "I just consigned this to Pace," "on loan to the Whitney," "sent to Gagosian for the summer," "loaned to a private collector." Present a summary (work, holder, kind, dates, plus commission and price for consignments) and confirm before saving. Consignments support exclusivity. Only one active exclusive consignment per work is allowed; concurrent attempts return HTTP 409 with the blocking event in details.blocking_event. Does NOT trigger pending_resignature. Custody lives on a separate timeline from the signed record, so recording a consignment or loan does not invalidate the existing VC. Resolve work_id via search_natural_language. Never ask the user for the UUID.
