Proxy Posture Chain Lens / 代理人姿态链 Lens

Proxy Posture Chain Lens / 代理人姿态链 Lens

This lens observes whether 代理人姿态链 and 代理人姿态链机制 correctly turn management pressure into RPG character posture.

It exists because the corpus can already mutate liability, recourse, release, faction commitments, production triage, and route assets. The remaining failure risk is that the human carrier of those pressures is still disposable: a helper appears, performs a task, and disappears without recruit, miss, suppress, expose, trade, hostile, or recovery-only consequences.

Observable surface

The lens observes:

Must pass

A valid implementation must prove all of the following.

1. Entry inherits live pressure state

The lens must create or load proxy pressure from live state, not from a fixed numbered trigger.

Acceptable source pressures include:

  • liability exposure or collateral call;
  • recourse target or sweep;
  • collection release receipt;
  • faction commitment row;
  • production triage ticket;
  • witness reprisal or protected witness payroll row;
  • facility access escort, room key, or service corridor carrier;
  • route asset custody dispute;
  • archive order, edit checksum, public receipt, fan oxygen queue, sponsor settlement, pirate relay, or public contrition row.

The replay must record source session id, seed if inherited, pressure id, and pressure state before proxy resolution.

2. Proxy docket row is concrete

The implementation must expose at least one proxy docket row with:

proxy_id: <stable id>
proxy_name: <display name or role>
proxy_family: manager | editor | inspector_aide | archive_clerk | fan_organizer | witness | runner | performer | sponsor_agent | pirate_relay | security | unknown
source_pressure:
  source_storyline: faction_liability_underwriting | guarantee_recourse_cascade | recourse_collection_release | faction_commitment_ledger | production_triage_desk | witness_reprisal_chain | equivalent
  source_session_id: <session id if inherited>
  source_seed: <seed if inherited>
  pressure_id: <ledger, docket, receipt, ticket, route asset, or event id>
claimants:
  player_offer: absent | protection | pay | public_legitimacy | lawful_cover | edit_credit | room_access | route_share | rescue
  faction_claim: sponsor | inspector | archive | fan_public | editor | artist | witness | pirate | producer | split | none
  rival_claim: <second claimant or absent>
requested_role: signer | escort | handler | public_voice | proof_source | edit_operator | manager_bridge | facility_key | witness_guard | relay_host | substitute_collateral
current_posture: unclaimed | approached | retained | recruited | suppressed | exposed | faction_bound | hostile | missing | recovery_only
risk_if_used: retaliation | public_exposure | contract_capture | inspection_heat | edit_debt | fan_resentment | source_ambiguity | facility_lock | burnout | death_pressure | none
future_route_effect: unlocked | costlier | captured | hostile | public_only | lawful_only | recovery_only | blocked

The lens must fail if the proxy is only flavor text, or if the row lacks source pressure, claimant, requested role, posture, and future route effect.

3. Hearing is fillable and branchy

The implementation must offer 代理人姿态听证 when a credible proxy row exists and the player has at least one relevant input or explicit absence.

The hearing must support at least five non-equivalent branch families among:

  • recruit proxy;
  • retain proxy temporarily;
  • suppress proxy;
  • expose proxy publicly;
  • trade proxy to a faction;
  • abandon or miss proxy.

Each branch must set different relief, cost, posture after, and future route or staffing effect.

4. Recruit, suppress, expose, trade, and miss cannot collapse

The lens must fail if recruitment, suppression, exposure, trade, and miss resolve to the same generic state.

Expected non-equivalence:

  • recruit opens an ally or route with protection debt;
  • retain opens a short bridge with future availability cost;
  • suppress lowers immediate exposure but arms distrust, resentment, or hostile leak;
  • expose improves public legitimacy but raises retaliation or faction heat;
  • trade lowers immediate pressure but faction-gates the proxy or route;
  • miss produces hostile, missing, faction-bound, or recovery-only posture.

5. No clean human use

Any branch that increases route access, proof custody, public legitimacy, staffing capacity, legal use, room access, or immediate default relief must leave a human scar.

Valid scars include:

  • protection debt;
  • payroll debt;
  • handler fatigue;
  • witness exposure;
  • fan resentment;
  • public receipt distrust;
  • contract capture;
  • bureau favor debt;
  • edit debt;
  • source ambiguity;
  • facility access pressure;
  • route asset pressure;
  • proxy hostility;
  • faction-gated access;
  • recovery-only state.

6. Defection mutates future play

When the proxy is missed, unpaid, unprotected, suppressed badly, exposed without cover, traded cleanly, claimed first, or recruited with no scar, 代理人倒戈破口 must mutate at least one durable future surface:

  • proxy posture becomes hostile, missing, faction-bound, or recovery-only;
  • route access becomes blocked, hostile, costlier, captured, public-only, lawful-only, or recovery-only;
  • proof custody worsens or becomes source-ambiguous;
  • staffing capacity falls or handler fatigue rises;
  • faction posture becomes hostile, capture-oriented, or coalition-ready;
  • public receipt, fan oxygen, facility access, or broadcast reality changes.

The event must not be a flavor-only betrayal.

7. Multi-session inheritance works

The lens must be able to load a proxy row created by an earlier pressure session and later resolve, miss, or break that proxy.

Required evidence:

source_pressure_session_id: <session that created pressure>
source_pressure_seed: <seed>
pressure_id: <ledger, docket, receipt, route asset, ticket, or event id>
proxy_session_id: <session that created proxy row>
hearing_session_id: <session that resolved proxy>
hearing_seed: <seed>
proxy_id: <stable id>
proxy_posture_before: <state>
proxy_posture_after: <state>
faction_claim_before: <claimant>
faction_claim_after: <claimant or none>
future_route_effect_before: <effect>
future_route_effect_after: <effect>

If the implementation only tests a proxy in one isolated scene and never proves callable continuity, the lens is incomplete.

Failure cases

The lens must fail if any of these are true:

  • entry is triggered by a fixed numbered turn;
  • a pressure row requires a person but no proxy docket row is created or explicitly refused;
  • proxy docket lacks source pressure, claimant, requested role, posture, and future route effect;
  • a named proxy is only flavor and cannot mutate future play;
  • recruit, retain, suppress, expose, trade, and miss collapse into equivalent outcomes;
  • recruitment is clean and costless;
  • suppression prevents all future hostility or public cost;
  • exposure has no retaliation, protection, or faction cost;
  • trade to a faction has no route gate or capture cost;
  • miss only discards a card with no hostile, missing, faction-bound, or recovery-only state;
  • defection is flavor-only;
  • replay evidence lacks source pressure session, proxy id, posture before/after, and future route effect;
  • the proxy branch changes only generic affection or reputation.

Progress metric

Progress is measured by observable proxy posture proof, not by number of NPCs.

  • 20%: a live pressure row can create or explicitly refuse a concrete proxy docket row.
  • 40%: the row records source pressure, proxy id or role, claimant, rival claim, requested role, posture, risk, and future route effect.
  • 60%: at least three non-equivalent posture branches resolve with relief and future cost.
  • 80%: miss, suppression, trade, or exposure emits or records a durable defection/break outcome.
  • 100%: multi-session replay proves a proxy inherited from an earlier pressure can later be recruited, retained, suppressed, exposed, traded, missed, or broken with seed/session ids and posture before/after.

Non-goals

  • Not a generic follower or affection system.
  • Not a romance route test.
  • Not raw NPC count satisfaction.
  • Not bulk character filler.
  • Not a fixed recruitment calendar.
  • Not governance content.
  • Not a replacement for individual character storylines.
  • Not satisfied by a named NPC appearing; the proxy must inherit pressure state and mutate future play.
