Desk Liaison Counteroffer Lens / 桌间联络人反报价 Lens

Primary Observation Link

This lens observes 桌间联络人反报价线, 桌间联络人反报价机制, 宁折桌间反报价联络线, and Desk Liaison Counteroffer Broker.

It is observed through 桌间联络人反报价案卷, 桌间联络人反报价听证, and 联络人倒戈反报价.

Observable Promise

Storyteller must prove that a counteroffer between desks remains a visible system row before it becomes route pressure, public proof, lawful posture, editor authority, sponsor relief, or broadcast reality.

The lens fails if the player can shop one contradiction between sponsor, inspector, archive, editor, public, lawful, pirate, artist-boundary, or management desks and receive clean universal closure without a source surface, first desk terms, second desk terms, liaison state, assignment, branch cost, and future reader effect.

Entry Oracle

Open the lens from state pressure, not calendar pressure.

entry_state_required:
  trigger_kind: state_pressure
  source_surface_present: true
  source_surface_kind: reality_drift_docket | custody_receipt | sponsor_settlement | inspector_audit | editorial_patch | public_receipt | route_asset_settlement | legality_conversion | equivalent
  first_desk_terms_visible: true
  counteroffer_terms_visible_or_explicit_absence: true
  desks_min: 2
  liaison_state_visible_or_explicit_absence: true
  future_route_effect_possible: true
  player_can_accept_reject_expose_suppress_trade_defer_or_default: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true
  no_fixed_day_or_week_trigger: true
  no_raw_count_trigger: true
  no_dashboard_or_lens_health_trigger: true

The lens fails if entry comes from generic faction anger, fixed turn/day/week progression, raw count, dashboard state, lens health, or a counteroffer with no concrete liaison or explicit absence.

Docket Oracle

Desk Liaison Counteroffer Docket or equivalent must record:

counteroffer_docket:
  source_surface: reality_drift_docket | custody_receipt | sponsor_settlement | inspector_audit | cutroom_checksum | public_witness_packet | route_asset_roster | equivalent
  previous_selected_desk: sponsor | inspector | archive | editor | public_fan | lawful_reader | management | equivalent
  previous_terms: <what the first desk demanded or promised>
  counteroffering_desk: sponsor | inspector | archive | editor | public_fan | pirate_relay | artist_boundary | management | equivalent
  counteroffer_terms_or_explicit_absence: <terms or explicit_absence>
  liaison: storyteller.character.ning_zhe_desk_liaison.v1 | equivalent | explicit_missing_liaison
  liaison_state_before: unseen | offered | retained | recruited | exposed | suppressed | faction_bound | hostile | captured | missed | equivalent
  handler_or_absence: <handler or explicit_absence>
  proof_or_absence: <proof object or explicit_absence>
  protection_or_price_or_absence: <support, cost, or explicit_absence>
  selected_response: accept_counteroffer | reject_and_protect_first_terms | expose_counteroffer | suppress_liaison | trade_liaison | defer_with_debt | miss_or_default
  state_after: <durable state>
  counter_deltas: <relief and cost>
  future_route_effect: <unlocked, costlier, blocked, public_only, lawful_only, sponsor_gated, editor_gated, recovery_only, equivalent>

The lens fails if the docket records only desk names, general mood pressure, or a warning banner.

Assignment Oracle

Desk Liaison Counteroffer Hearing or equivalent must require assignment or explicit absence for:

• source docket or surface;
• first desk terms;
• counteroffer terms;
• liaison;
• handler;
• proof;
• protection, price, or support;
• selected response;
• accepted cost surface;
• future route effect.

No handler, sponsor payment, lawful phrase, editor patch, public sympathy, or route asset can satisfy the lens unless the quote carrier and future effect remain visible.

Branch Oracle

A satisfying implementation proves at least six non-equivalent branch families, with default required.

Branch A - Accept counteroffer

Expected evidence:

• second desk terms become selected, accepted, or provisionally carried;
• one second-desk pressure, route gate, proof bridge, or immediate cost improves;
• first-desk hostility, public distrust, inspection heat, contract capture, archive debt, edit debt, or source ambiguity rises;
• future route effect names reopened first terms, faction gate, or follow-up hearing.

Branch B - Reject and protect first terms

Expected evidence:

• original solution remains usable;
• counteroffering desk becomes hostile, watchful, subordinated, deferred, or blackmail-capable;
• liaison exposure, future blackmail, coalition pressure, or claimant hostility rises.

Branch C - Expose counteroffer

Expected evidence:

• public receipt, lawful filing, fan witness, historian proof, or source proof uses the quote;
• public receipt legitimacy, false-owner pressure, or private-capture resistance improves;
• sponsor pressure, inspection heat, liaison exposure, witness retaliation, pirate exposure, or fan oxygen risk rises;
• future protection, payroll, appeal, or shelter is required.

Branch D - Suppress or trade liaison

Expected evidence:

• liaison is hidden, edited out, frozen, intimidated, sold, faction-bound, or cut out;
• immediate contradiction or desk noise improves;
• public receipt distrust, edit debt, archive debt, route capture, source ambiguity, or hostile leak risk rises;
• clean recruitment is blocked or future use becomes faction-gated.

Branch E - Defer with debt

Expected evidence:

• decision pressure drops or stays manageable;
• both desk claims remain visible;
• future blackmail, handler burden, counteroffer pressure, or route asset pressure rises;
• later hearing is forced and no clean universal closure is recorded.

Branch F - Miss or default

Expected evidence:

• missing handler, proof, support, liaison, terms, or response is recorded;
• Liaison Defection Counteroffer fires or arms;
• hostile, captured, false-intermediary, missing, faction-bound, or recovery-only liaison state mutates future play.

Default Oracle

Liaison Defection Counteroffer must record:

liaison_defection_counteroffer:
  event: storyteller.event.liaison_defection_counteroffer.v1
  source_docket: storyteller.card.desk_liaison_counteroffer_docket.v1
  source_surface: <drift, custody, sponsor, inspector, editor, public, or route-asset surface>
  liaison: <id or explicit_missing_liaison>
  defecting_or_claiming_desk: <desk>
  betrayed_or_excluded_desk: <desk or explicit_absence>
  defection_reason: unpaid | unprotected | coerced | overexposed | traded | hidden_terms | double_promised | handler_absent | proof_absent | equivalent
  state_after: hostile_liaison | captured_liaison | false_intermediary | missing_liaison | recovery_only_liaison | faction_bound_liaison | equivalent
  future_route_effect: blocked | costlier | public_only | lawful_only | sponsor_gated | editor_gated | recovery_only | equivalent
  counter_deltas_min: 3

The event must mutate route access, future difficulty, route asset state, NPC posture, desk posture, public receipt, proof custody, or broadcast reality. It cannot be only a relationship-meter drop.

Non-Goals

• Not a generic bargaining UI.
• Not a faction reputation meter.
• Not a clean shortcut around Ning Zhe.
• Not valid if a liaison becomes a free courier, invisible mood, or universal settlement key.
• Not valid if all desks accept the same quote cleanly.
