If a person fulfills Kiddush by listening to someone else, must the challot in front of that person still be covered even though he is not reciting Kiddush himself?

This source-based Torah study examines the question: If a person fulfills Kiddush by listening to someone else, must the challot in front of that person still be covered even though he is not reciting Kiddush himself? The canonical Hebrew discussion develops the issue through the weekly Torah portion and the sources cited there, preserving the distinctions, tensions, and practical implications of the original text. This localized discovery layer does not add any new halakhic, medical, legal, scientific, historical, theological, or empirical ruling or claim beyond the canonical Hebrew source.
