+How each state reads to a member is copy rather than mechanism: the power clause is `design/STYLE.md` T8's, in `design/copy.js`, and a delegated setting carries no governance sentence at all — the Founder's own ✒️ and 🛡️ clauses name what the Founder holds (SURFACE §8, F16).
 
 1. **Birth.** Every setting is born convenor-held, both powers, question shut, value unset. → why: R-001
 2. **Delegation is an act, one-way, the convenor's own, never a motion.** Before the start, on a delegable setting, it opens the founding question; otherwise — and always after the start — it is a **hand-over**: the value stands, only the holder changes. Each setting's hand-over moment is in §9.7.1 (*hand-over from*). → why: R-006, R-027
