Storing a design system never made a session aware of one. Rules get pushed
into every session by the SessionStart hook and returned by enter_project; a
design system had neither, so its standards were reachable only by an agent
that already knew to call resolve_design_system — the same silent failure as a
token nobody declares.

That gap was invisible while the operator's visual standards also lived in a
rulebook. Retiring that rulebook (which is what this unblocks) would have
deleted design guidance from every session with nothing to say so.

- services/design_systems.design_context() — the delivery side. Guidance is
  chain-merged ANCESTOR-FIRST: a child system holds only what it CHANGES, so
  its own guidance describes a departure from a house style it never restates,
  and the leaf alone is a fragment. Tokens are summarised (count + group
  names), not listed — a hundred declarations would crowd out the context they
  are meant to inform.
- enter_project returns `design_system`, null when the project has none.
- The SessionStart context gains a Design system block with pointers to the
  values, alongside the always-on rules.
- server.py's entity list gains Design system, including the negative: do NOT
  record one as a rulebook, because a token kept as prose cannot be resolved,
  inherited, rendered or checked.
- The rulebook-tier passage used "a design-system rulebook" as its worked
  example of a subscribed rulebook — it now teaches the opposite, plus a new
  "is this a rule at all?" test pointing at design systems, processes and
  snippets.
- using-scribe gains a section on building UI against the project's system.

`design_system` is null unless the project points at one. When present it
carries the chain-merged guidance (the house style AND this project's
departures from it) plus a summary of the token set — treat it as binding
for any UI you write, and pull the values with resolve_design_system or
get_design_system_stylesheet before reaching for a literal.
