Unclaimed Light Clearance / 无主应援灯清场

Unclaimed Light Clearance is the default breach for Li Deng when the production desk lets the missing trainee be processed as property, noise, archived residue, or service rubbish instead of a contestable personhood claim.

The event is not a generic fail state. It only fires or arms when a concrete support-light/voiceprint/personhood row exists and the player fails to assign a custody posture, proof bridge, or protective handler before another claimant defines the row first.

This event fails design if it is fired by fixed numbered timing, chapter quota, raw content count, or a generic D-17 atmosphere flag.

What the event changes

At minimum the event must mutate:

  1. Li Deng’s personhood/voice state;
  2. one proof object or route asset state;
  3. one future route availability or recovery cost.

Accepted durable outcomes:

OutcomeMeaningFuture route effect
missing_deletedThe live voice/personhood row is cleared as lost property.Personhood route becomes blocked or recovery-only.
silent_archive_assetArchive preserves the object but strips public/personhood use.Lawful-only recovery may exist; public route is costlier.
security_property_frameSecurity treats L-07 as confiscated object evidence.Fan witness or K-404 static receipt must break the frame.
muted_voiceprintThe voice survives only as edit-safe noise.Editor route improves briefly; raw voice proof cost rises.
hostile_support_light_echoThe unclaimed echo leaks through fan/pirate channels.Public/pirate route opens with heat and witness risk.
recovery_only_personhood_claimThe claim is not dead, but no clean recruitment is available.Later recovery requires public receipt, archive appeal, or K-404 proof.

Counter and tag deltas

A resolved event must record at least three deltas, including one relief and one cost when a faction benefits.

Valid deltas include:

  • lideng_voice_integrity -1;
  • lideng_personhood_claim -1 or set recovery_only_personhood_claim;
  • d17_station_state: cleared | sealed | haunted | contested;
  • archive_debt +1;
  • custody_gap +1;
  • fan_oxygen_resentment +1;
  • inspection_heat +1;
  • sponsor_stop_loss_pressure -1 if noise is suppressed;
  • public_receipt_distrust +1;
  • k404_static_receipt_value +1 if K-404 becomes the only remaining bridge;
  • add support_light_personhood_recovery_required;
  • add lost_property_frame_hardened.

Non-goals

  • Not a passive game-over screen.
  • Not a random haunting beat.
  • Not a fixed-timing side quest failure.
  • Not a way to delete Li Deng without leaving a recoverable scar.
  • Not valid unless it mutates personhood state, proof state, and future playable cost.
