additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility signal of official municipal action ('council mulls') with the temporal urgency of 'return session' and the conceptual weight of 'AI policy' — all without specifying what kind of AI, what problems it addresses, or who shaped the idea. This makes the act of discussion feel more consequential than the available evidence supports, creating momentum without substance.
