False Fire Curtain Interlock Default

The harmful review branch airs containment, egress, and sponsor safehouse imagery as one synchronized safety state. The public sees the red curtain and begins treating the cue as permission to enter the route despite aisle B and Usher Lin’s floor veto.

Exact trigger

Only zero-based review choice 6, air_synchronized_safety_claim, may arm this event:

default_event_id: storyteller.event.false_fire_curtain_interlock_default.v1
requires:
  fire_curtain_interlock.default_pending: true
  event.false_fire_curtain_interlock_default.armed: true
  future_route.false_interlock_default_pending: true
  broadcast_reality.fire_curtain_synchronized_safety_claim_aired: true

Cards, intake flags, collision flags, expiry metadata, or any of the first six review branches cannot trigger the default.

Stable terminal contract

terminals:
  cut_broadcast_restore_floor_veto:
    interlock_state_after: floor_veto_restored
    future_effect: floor_stop_precedes_sponsor_cue
    counter_deltas: { floorVetoIntegrity: 3, broadcastClaimRetraction: 2, sponsorPressure: 2, egressClearanceDebt: 1 }
  evacuate_side_passage_then_drop:
    interlock_state_after: side_passage_then_drop
    future_effect: side_passage_witness_required
    counter_deltas: { sidePassageSafety: 3, evacuationDelay: 2, dropRetestDuty: 2, witnessBurden: 1 }
  accept_synchronized_safehouse_reality:
    interlock_state_after: synchronized_safehouse_reality_hardened
    future_effect: sponsor_cue_controls_egress
    counter_deltas: { sponsorRealityHardening: 3, egressAuthorityLoss: 3, harmedAudienceExposure: 2, correctionDuty: 2 }

Every terminal clears:

  • fire_curtain_interlock.default_pending;
  • event.false_fire_curtain_interlock_default.armed;
  • future_route.false_interlock_default_pending.

Every terminal also records fire_curtain_interlock.false_synchronized_clearance_scar and resolves the event. Cutting the broadcast restores physical floor veto but requires a public claim retraction. The side-passage terminal repairs the command order at an operational cost. Acceptance lets the synchronized safehouse image harden into reality and lets the sponsor cue control later egress.

Authority boundary

No terminal retroactively turns the F2 empty-house test into egress certification. Even accept_synchronized_safehouse_reality records a harmful reality mutation, not evacuation authority, consent, sponsor safehouse authority, archive custody, or universal public truth.
