Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem?

_Part of the Delegator UX Analysis RFP._

Today, the unbonding period isn't shown until after the user has already undelegated. A 7-day token lock without prior explanation looks like a bug, not a feature, and damages trust at exactly the moment trust is most fragile.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Move the unbonding period disclosure to before the user acts. Inline copy at the undelegation step should explain how long the period lasts, why it exists, and what the user can and can't do during it.

Research direction

Start by locating the undelegation flow and the existing disclosure that appears after the user acts. Trace where the undelegation step is rendered, then add the requested inline explanation before the action. Done means users can see the 7-day duration, why the period exists, and what they can and cannot do during it before undelegating.
