Cutroom Priority Default / 剪辑室优先违约

Cutroom Priority Default is the event that fires when a contested edit queue row is left without a credible handler, lane, proof carrier, delay payment, split-copy plan, or explicit recovery mark.

It exists because edit-room absence must be as playable as edit-room action. If the player does not choose which version to cut, another claimant or the blackout system cuts for them.

Event trigger

Trigger this event when all of the following are true:

  1. 剪辑室优先案卷 has at least one row in pending, contested, overbooked, held, split_required, or default_ready;
  2. the row requires an edit lane, editor, checksum authority, source copy, legal cut window, public receipt, sponsor review, or recovery repair;
  3. the required input is missing, consumed by a rival row, suppressed without scar, or assigned without a proof carrier;
  4. the row names a concrete default_if_ignored state;
  5. the default mutates future route access, proof custody, proxy posture, ending eligibility, public legitimacy, broadcast reality, or stabilization liability.

The event must not trigger from a fixed numbered turn.

Default actors

The event chooses a default actor from the unresolved row:

  • sponsor hardens a private clean version;
  • inspector quarantines the cut into lawful-only use;
  • archive records a single-owner copy;
  • editor patches checksum ambiguity into a black-box version;
  • fan_public airs a countercut without production protection;
  • proxy leaks or defects through the uncared-for proof row;
  • blackout_system folds the missing cut into a black-screen slot;
  • route_asset becomes captured, hostile, sacrificed, or recovery-only.

The default actor must be visible to the player.

Branch defaults

Sponsor claims the edit vacuum and installs a clean grief, replacement, or safety cut.

Relief:

  • immediate sponsor pressure or slot instability may fall.

Cost:

  • public scar route, artist refusal, fan receipt, proxy testimony, or split copy becomes blocked, captured, costlier, or recovery-only.

Follow-up surfaces can include 冠名洁净剪辑禁令 or 结局伤痕审计.

Inspector quarantine cut

Inspector or archive authority blocks public use and preserves only a lawful version.

Relief:

  • admissibility improves;
  • black-screen risk may soften.

Cost:

  • public legitimacy, fan oxygen, witness voice, or pirate relay route becomes harmed.

Archive single owner

Archive records one claimant as the owner of a copy that should have remained split.

Relief:

  • custody looks orderly.

Cost:

  • false-owner risk, source ambiguity, archive debt, or route asset capture rises.

Fan countercut

Public or fan pressure airs the uncared-for row without production shelter.

Relief:

  • private capture is challenged;
  • public scar becomes visible.

Cost:

  • witness exposure, sponsor retaliation, inspection heat, or proxy risk rises.

Editor black-box patch

The editor or system patches missing proof with an opaque checksum.

Relief:

  • a cut can air.

Cost:

  • contradiction pending, black-box pressure, edit debt, or recovery-only ending state becomes live.

Proxy hostile leak

The row’s human carrier decides the producer abandoned them.

Relief:

  • none, unless the leak publicly blocks a false owner.

Cost:

Recovery window lost

A scarred route remains real but can no longer become clean.

Relief:

  • terminal laundering is blocked.

Cost:

  • recovery-only terminal state and future repair cost.

Black-screen fold

The edit absence becomes a broadcast absence.

Relief:

  • none.

Cost:

Invalid event uses

This event is invalid if it:

  • is only a warning with no state mutation;
  • fires because a fixed turn, week, or chapter number arrived;
  • does not name default actor, missing input, privileged claimant, harmed claimant, proof carrier, and future route effect;
  • hardens a clean version without preserving the scar that was skipped;
  • lets an ignored row disappear without cost;
  • treats the edit queue as flavor outside the management economy.
