📖What it means
The delegate's duty to keep the policies permanently aligned to the constitution and all code aligned to the policies — and to ensure the system, Carol included, never acts against the constitution. It is the maintenance obligation attached to the right to write rules.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Self-governance
The right is to write the policies; the upkeep duty is to keep them true afterwards.
Not: Audit
Upkeep is the standing obligation; an audit is one inspection that tests whether it was met.
