digital delivery method
How a non-physical good is delivered — by download, an e-mailed key, streaming access, cloud activation, an in-app entitlement, or a redeem code. The DIGITAL twin of fulfilment's physical `fulfilment_channel` (ship/locker/pickup), complementary across the requires_shipping fork. Cardinality many: a product can offer several methods (a Steam key and a direct download), each a correlated host bundle travelling with its own `license_term` + `license_scope` (the grant), `delivery_platform` (platform / DRM), `download_limit`, and `access_expiry` — qualifiers with no home but the method (the shipping_rate / media_item pattern). Collapses schema.org DigitalDocument / SoftwareApplication delivery sense, Stripe and Shopify digital-fulfilment, and the marketplace download/email-key/streaming forms into one governed structure. A governed token, growing (L13). The issued key/link is realised downstream (L1).
