+ *
+ *   - **system** context (service / seed / import) → bypass;
+ *   - **admin** (`roles` includes `'admin'`) → may set `delegator_id` to anyone;
+ *   - otherwise `delegator_id` must equal the acting user — an absent delegator
+ *     on insert is stamped to the caller, a foreign delegator is rejected.
+ *
+ * Row-level ownership on update/delete (you can only touch a delegation you
+ * created) is already enforced by `member_default`'s wildcard
+ * `created_by == current_user.id` RLS; this guard adds the delegator-identity

+ * to me onto my delegate instead." The approval service consults active rows

+ * (ADR-0091): the validity window is enforced at RESOLUTION time via the
+ * shared `isGrantActive` predicate — never by a background job (ADR-0049).
