The use-cases section previously stated that delegates 'act as backups and replicas of each other' across devices. This is aspirational: no cross-device sync exists today. PR #4034 added local snapshot history but not cross-device synchronization. Replace the inaccurate sentence with an accurate description: - delegates store state encrypted on the local device - recent snapshots allow recovery from accidental overwrites - cross-device sync is not yet implemented Link to freenet-core#3050 (vault-delegate primitive) for the planned implementation. Fixes freenet/freenet-core#4037.

Problem
The use-cases section of the delegates manual page currently states:
This misleads users about durability guarantees. Cross-device synchronization is not implemented — PR #4034 added local snapshot history only. The vault-delegate primitive for cross-device sync is tracked in freenet/freenet-core#3050 and is still planned/aspirational.
Solution
Replace the inaccurate paragraph with an accurate description:
The replacement matches the existing tone and Hugo markdown style of the page.
Reference
Tracked in freenet/freenet-core#4037.
