If it's like my car, the manual doesn't hold the car when in gear, it'll roll in gear if it's a slight incline, unlike any manual I've owned before. And the parking brake often doesn't engage on the first press, no matter what you do. So you probably pulled the switch, thought it was engaged but it didn't. That's why they added the light to the parking switch for 2020. (hopefully they also fixed the issue of the switch not working the first time).

After several rolling incidents, one that would have totalled my car if I didn't catch it in time, I've gotten used to listening for the brake engaging.
The 2019's have the red parking brake light on the switch too actually. Really convenient

Didn't read the entire thread but if brake hold is active and you shut the car off or even just undo the seat belt the parking brake engages.....
