Changes

Governance documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Governance rules and proposal lifecycle
docs/user/governance/using.rst
The guide documents hourly vote changes, weighted regular masternode and evonode votes, eligible-vote thresholds, proposal persistence, budget-cycle commands, and six-confirmation submission rules.
Wallet proposal workflow
docs/user/governance/using.rst
The Core wallet instructions update proposal fields, confirmation screens, collateral statuses, broadcasting, and the required fee amount.
Voting tools and key usage
docs/user/governance/using.rst
DashCentral guidance now uses the masternode voting key. Console instructions use generic gobject voting commands and require an unlocked wallet.

In `@docs/user/governance/using.rst`:
- Around line 40-42: Update all governance-voting descriptions in
understanding.rst to document that votes may be recast once per hour and that
acceptance uses the weighted net yes-minus-no tally, including eligible ENABLED
masternode voting weight, meeting the maximum of the minimum quorum and
one-tenth of the valid weighted total with an inclusive threshold.
