Unstaffed Crisis Default / 无人派工危机默认

Unstaffed Crisis Default is the event that fires when 制作分诊台机制 leaves a live crisis without credible lane, handler, support, or delay.

The event is the punishment for pretending the desk is a harmless backlog. In Storyteller, an unworked crisis is narrated by somebody else: a sponsor, inspector, archive desk, fan public, editor, claimant, blackout system, or the contradiction itself.

Event trigger

Resolve this event when all are true:

1. 制作分诊板 is open or was recently open;
2. at least one ticket has default_if_unstaffed or equivalent state;
3. 制作分诊派工 was skipped, failed, underfilled, overworked, or assigned to another ticket;
4. the ticket still has a future route, counter, person, proof, broadcast, or schedule effect to damage;
5. no valid bridge delayed the default.

This event is state-triggered. It must not require a fixed turn number.

Default actors

The event must record who narrates the unworked crisis.

Default actor	What they do	Common durable result
sponsor_default	files clean language, private settlement, stop-loss version, or naming-right patch	contract_capture, public_distrust, costlier public route
inspector_default	freezes admissibility, opens an order, locks an unsafe version	inspection_heat, legal_lane_locked, harder audit recovery
archive_default	signs the only available copy or seizes ambiguous custody	archive_debt, false_owner_pressure, custody recovery route
fan_public_default	organizes grief, refund, witness chain, or retaliation without producer framing	fan_oxygen_resentment, public pressure, hostile witness route
editor_default	auto-patches the cut, hides contradiction, or overwrites source context	edit_debt, reality_drift, checksum distrust
claimant_default	a wrong owner, faction, heir, sponsor, or witness narrates first	claimant_default_pressure, route lock, false-owner recovery
blackout_default	the missed work folds into black-screen or schedule scar	black_screen_slots, schedule_lane_scarred, blocked contract
route_asset_default	an unprotected person/proof/follower is captured, hostile, or exhausted	route_asset_overexposed, handler_burnout, recovery-only route

Resolution branches

Branch A — Soft default with recovery route

The crisis defaults, but a trace remains: receipt, checksum, witness note, fan queue stub, handler apology, or safehouse debt.

Expected outcome:

• default state appears;
• immediate pressure worsens;
• a recovery rite, costlier branch, or route-asset rescue can still appear later.

Branch B — Hard default into route lock

The crisis defaults through a faction with enough authority or public momentum to make the result durable.

Expected outcome:

• route becomes blocked, captured, hostile, terminal, or recovery-only;
• at least three counters/states change;
• future repair must cite this event as the source of difficulty.

Branch C — Broadcast fold

The unworked crisis is schedule-facing or contradiction-facing and the broadcast system makes the absence real.

Expected outcome:

• black_screen_slots, schedule_lane_scarred, reality_drift, or equivalent rises;
• future schedule capacity, public version, or up-screen option is damaged;
• the default is visible as a card, tag, counter, or blocked reason.

Branch D — Person or route asset damage

The unworked ticket contains a person, follower, courier, witness, proof-carrier, public delegate, or artist.

Expected outcome:

• state becomes hostile, captured, disappeared, overexposed, sacrificed, burned out, or unavailable;
• future use of that person/proof requires recovery, payment, apology, protection, or is terminally blocked;
• a human cost counter or route asset state changes.

Counter contract

The event must move at least three counters or durable states when it resolves.

Typical changes:

• unstaffed_defaults: +1
• claimant_default_pressure: +1
• triage_pressure: +1 unless a soft recovery hook stabilizes the desk
• black_screen_slots: +1 on broadcast fold
• reality_drift: +1 on unworked contradiction
• inspection_heat: +1 on inspector default
• contract_capture: +1 on sponsor default
• fan_oxygen_resentment: +1 on fan public default
• archive_debt: +1 on archive default
• route_asset_overexposed: +1 on person/proof damage
• crew_morale: -1 when the default is visibly caused by overwork or abandonment

Follow-up hooks

A soft default may create one harder route instead of terminal failure:

• recover defaulted receipt;
• apologize to public witness chain;
• re-open legal lane with higher heat;
• pay safehouse debt;
• rescue captured route asset;
• publish why the edit was late;
• trade sponsor relief for public distrust;
• accept black-screen scar and continue with less capacity.

Non-goals

• Not a random punishment event.
• Not a mood beat that says the team was busy.
• Not a generic game-over switch.
• Not a fixed schedule trigger.
• Not allowed to erase the unworked ticket without recording default actor, missing inputs, branch, deltas, and future route effects.
