Coalition Lock Hardening / 同盟锁死硬化

Coalition Lock Hardening is the breach event for 反向同盟锁机制. It fires or becomes armed when a hostile coalition is hidden, ignored, falsely split, bought without recording capture, or allowed to narrate the target asset before the player breaks the lock.

This event is not a punishment cutscene. It must mutate route-asset state and future availability.

Fire conditions

Fire or arm this event when at least one condition is true:

fire_condition_any:
  - coalition_lock_active_without_response
  - combined_terms_accepted_without_cost
  - coalition_member_rows_hidden
  - contradiction_or_absence_ignored
  - decoy_release_detected_by_wrong_member
  - standdown_cost_unpaid
  - frozen_target_breached
  - route_asset_used_as_clean_while_lock_active
  - coalition_narrates_target_first
required_context:
  coalition_rows_min: 2
  target_asset_id: <stable target>
  future_route_effect_present: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true

The event must never fire because a numbered turn, arbitrary delay, chapter boundary, content quota, or lens-health state was reached.

A valid event cannot omit the coalition members or target asset.

Event outcomes

Outcome A — Captured target

The coalition controls the target through law, sponsor terms, archive hold, edit copy, public-only gate, or private retainer.

outcome: captured_target
target_asset_state_after_any: [captured, sponsor_only, lawful_only, editor_only, public_only]
future_route_effect_any: [rescue_required, conversion_required, costlier]
cost_any: [route_asset_pressure_up, contract_capture_up, inspection_heat_up, edit_debt_up]

Outcome B — False owner hardens

The coalition installs a wrong claimant, clean copy, private owner, public narrator, or lawful holder before contradiction is seated.

outcome: false_owner_hardens
target_asset_state_after: false_owner
future_route_effect_any: [counterproof_required, clean_route_blocked, recovery_only]
cost_any: [false_owner_pressure_up, public_receipt_distrust_up, future_recovery_cost_up]

Outcome C — Hostile route asset

A person, witness, runner, fan delegate, editor source, or pirate relay becomes hostile because the coalition reached them first or because the player hid the threat.

outcome: hostile_route_asset
target_asset_state_after: hostile
future_route_effect_any: [hostile_testimony, duplicate_claim, route_poisoned, recovery_only]
cost_any: [witness_retaliation_risk_up, fan_oxygen_resentment_up, custody_gap_up]

Outcome D — Channel-only capture

The target remains usable only in the channel controlled by the coalition.

outcome: channel_only_capture
target_asset_state_after_any: [sponsor_only, lawful_only, editor_only, public_only]
future_route_effect_any: [other_channels_blocked, broadcast_legality_conversion_required, public_audit_required]
cost_any: [source_ambiguity_up, route_access_stability_down, future_route_cost_up]

Outcome E — Recovery-only lock

The target cannot be used cleanly now, but a costly recovery surface remains.

outcome: recovery_only_lock
target_asset_state_after: recovery_only
future_route_effect_any: [rescue_exchange_required, public_counterproof_required, lawful_appeal_required, edit_source_reveal_required]
cost_any: [black_screen_pressure_up, future_recovery_cost_up, handler_burden_up]

Counter requirements

This event must change at least three counters or durable states. At least one target-state mutation is mandatory.

Common deltas:

• coalition_lock_strength +1
• route_asset_pressure +1
• custody_gap +1
• false_owner_pressure +1
• future_recovery_cost +1
• public_receipt_distrust +1
• contract_capture +1
• inspection_heat +1
• edit_debt +1
• source_ambiguity +1
• fan_oxygen_resentment +1
• black_screen_pressure +1

Recovery hooks

The event should leave at least one scarred recovery route when not terminal:

• public contradiction with exposure cost;
• lawful appeal with bureau debt;
• sponsor unwind with contract capture;
• edit-source reveal with source ambiguity;
• witness rescue with retaliation risk;
• route-asset exchange;
• fan oxygen bond;
• recovery-only broadcast.

Recovery must preserve the fact that the coalition hardened first.

Non-goals

• Not a mood backlash.
• Not generic faction hostility.
• Not a game-over event.
• Not a fixed-turn breach.
• Not valid if it does not name the coalition, target asset, hardening cause, state after, and future route effect.
