Backflow Usher Ledger / 逆流引座账本

Backflow Usher Ledger is the state card for a reversed-flow carrier who returns with late proof after a prior receipt has already started to harden.

It is designed for Backflow Usher. The card prevents her wristband, sealed name, or carried proof from becoming a clean all-clear. A late receipt can help, but only if the producer records what it narrows, who it protects, who it harms if merged, and which future reader consumes the row.

Card promise

The card must separate four locks:

card_contract:
  id: storyteller.card.backflow_usher_ledger.v1
  purpose: reversed_flow_receipt_state
  locks:
    - prior_receipt_lock
    - carrier_lock
    - merge_risk_lock
    - future_reader_lock

The card fails as content if it records only usher found, proof delivered, person safe, roll-call fixed, or exit verified.

Invalid shortcuts

The card must not allow:

  • a late wristband to satisfy every reader;
  • a sealed name to become public consent;
  • a backflow route to erase the one-way scar that created it;
  • public credit to count as protection;
  • sponsor manifest presence to count as lawful, public, and character presence;
  • a recap to use the row without recording omitted scar and harmed reader;
  • any fixed turn, day/week, raw count, dashboard, or lens-health trigger.
