Broadcast Legality Conversion / 播出合法性转轨机制

Broadcast Legality Conversion is the channel-state mechanism for route assets that are real, useful, and contested, but not automatically legal in every broadcast channel.

It fills the gap between custody and use. 认领撞锁 asks who controls a route asset first. This mechanism asks what channel can accept the asset next: lawful broadcast, lawful-only appeal, public receipt, pirate signal, editor-safe cut, sponsor package, quarantine, or recovery-only use.

Core rule

A route asset can only be assigned to a rite if both conditions pass:

  1. the route asset state permits assignment under Route Assets and Custody;
  2. the asset’s current_legality_class matches the rite’s required channel or has been converted with visible cost.

An asset that is recruited, protected, or route_asset may still be rejected by a corporate schedule if it is public-only, pirate-only, mirror-right mismatched, sponsor-captured, editor-only, quarantined, or recovery-only.

State-triggered entry

Open this mechanism when all are true:

  1. a stable route asset, proof object, witness, permit, edit copy, public receipt, memorial/voice copy, or archive docket exists;
  2. a desired next use exists: air, correct, appeal, memorialize, recruit, protect, publish, package, seize, recover, or route-unlock;
  3. the current legality class does not cleanly satisfy the desired channel;
  4. at least two authority families can alter or challenge conversion;
  5. at least one future rite acceptance, route option, card state, or cost changes after conversion.

Do not open this mechanism from a fixed numbered turn, day interval, chapter quota, raw content target, or lens-health state.

Data contract

Every route action that consumes a contested asset should declare a required channel:

route_action_acceptance:
  action_id: <rite or route action>
  accepted_asset_states:
    - recruited
    - protected
    - route_asset
    - public_only
    - lawful_only
    - recovery_only
  required_legality_class_any:
    - lawful_broadcast
    - lawful_only
    - public_receipt_only
    - pirate_signal_only
    - editor_safe_cut
    - sponsor_safe_package
  rejection_reason_if_missing:
    - license_slot_missing
    - mirror_right_missing
    - inspector_seal_missing
    - public_anchor_missing
    - source_holder_missing
    - sponsor_waiver_missing
    - quarantine_required
    - recovery_required

The mechanism fails if route acceptance checks only the asset card name or route state and ignores legality class.

Playable objects

Branch contract

Petition lawful slot

Converts toward lawful_broadcast, lawful_only, or provisional_lawful.

Required effects:

  • recognized route or appeal unlocks;
  • license_slots_free, inspection_heat, bureau_favor_debt, public distrust, sponsor pressure, or proof burden pays the cost;
  • public-only or pirate-only value is not erased unless explicitly sacrificed.

Retrofit mirror right

Binds near, exit, staging, or naming rights to the desired use.

Required effects:

  • intended action becomes recognized or sponsor-safe;
  • mirror_right_gap falls;
  • contract_capture, artist_boundary_risk, sponsor pressure, or future recovery cost rises.

Publish public counter-receipt

Keeps or converts the asset into public_receipt_only, public_only_route_asset, or pirate_signal_only.

Required effects:

  • public witness or fan-facing route unlocks;
  • private capture is challenged;
  • inspector heat, sponsor pressure, public exposure, pirate heat, or lawful-route cost rises.

Cut editor-safe version

Converts the asset into editor_safe_cut, editor_only, or split_canon.

Required effects:

  • audience continuity or cutroom route improves;
  • source ambiguity, edit debt, archive debt, or public distrust remains visible;
  • raw source proof is not silently preserved unless separately protected.

Accept sponsor bridge package

Converts the asset into sponsor_safe_package, sponsor_only, or lawful_broadcast_with_capture.

Required effects:

  • sponsor or schedule pressure improves;
  • contract capture, public receipt distrust, fan resentment, or artist boundary risk rises;
  • public and inspector challenge remain possible.

Quarantine until clean

Converts the asset into quarantined, lawful_only_after_appeal, or recovery_only.

Required effects:

  • contempt, false owner, archive fraud, or blackout risk decreases;
  • current route option is blocked, delayed, or made recovery-only;
  • future recovery cost rises.

Air illegally

The asset airs without conversion.

Required effects:

  • broadcast may go live or public route may stay visible;
  • 未授权路线资产藐视 fires or becomes armed;
  • future route acceptance narrows or costs rise.

Integration with license and mirror rights

Broadcast License supplies the slot pressure. A legal conversion may spend or lock a slot, release a blackout fold, or risk producer deplatforming if the player keeps airing assets without capacity.

Mirror Rights supplies the permission pressure. A route action that uses intimacy, exit, staging, or naming must carry the matching right or enter mirror_right_mismatch until retrofitted, narrowed, or violated.

Interaction with existing pressure systems

  • With 认领撞锁, a claimant may win custody while still failing channel legality.
  • With 举证负荷再分配线, conversion can move continuing proof burden to an inspector, editor, public witness, sponsor, or production desk.
  • With 纪念空气链质询线, a memorial air proof can become lawful-only, public-only, editor-safe, or contempt-flagged depending on who answers first.
  • With 路线资产扣押播报, seizure can create a legality mismatch, and legality mismatch can provoke seizure.
