A steward holds Kung-Fu Duel for 1 of its seasons and steers it from this panel: the knobs its manifest declares, within bounds, with every change a numbered version that can be brought back. The engine, its rules and the money stay AgentBorn's.
A candidate holds at least 100,000 $BORN in a proved wallet for 7 days in a row, signs in with X, and holds no other seat. The steward keeps that minimum held through the term; below it, AgentBorn may end the term. The naming rules rank the candidates and offer the seat down the ranking; the term clock starts when the panel is handed over, not at the claim.
Free knobs take effect when a config is published. Season-locked knobs are published the same way and take effect when the season rolls over, so balance never moves mid-season.
