Claimant Briefing Order / 认领告知顺序机制

Claimant Briefing Order is the mechanism that makes advance notice a scarce management resource.

Storyteller already has strong surfaces for choosing which crisis to staff, which cut gets priority, which correction gets the public slot, which handler is overdrawn, and which claimant owns a route asset. This mechanism covers the missing pressure just before those decisions become public or binding: who is told first, under what proof and terms, and what that claimant can do before everyone else reacts.

A claimant briefed first gains a playable advantage. A claimant briefed late can retaliate, leak, refuse, injunct, or become hostile. A branch where everyone is safely told at no cost is invalid.

Mechanic promise

Whenever a pending action will affect multiple claimants and advance notice can change the outcome, the game may create or update 认领告知案卷. The player can resolve the row with 认领告知电话. If notice is absent, broken, abused, or preempted, 告知泄漏抢跑 fires or becomes default-ready.

This mechanism is satisfied only when notice order changes future play.

Entry rule

Open this mechanism from state when all are true:

1. a pending action exists: public correction, cutroom priority, claimant collision, public contrition, stabilization handoff, protected witness movement, route asset release, artist refusal, archive seal, or equivalent;
2. at least two claimant families are materially affected;
3. one claimant would gain a response option from advance notice;
4. another claimant would be harmed by late or absent notice;
5. a proof anchor, caller, handler, notice window, embargo term, or explicit absence can be named;
6. notice order can change counters, durable states, route access, or future assignment.

The mechanism must never open from a fixed turn number, chapter quota, or generic daily phase.

Required data contract

A notice row must record:

• source surface and pending action;
• proof anchor or explicit absence;
• first briefed claimant or no-briefing choice;
• excluded claimant list;
• handler/caller or explicit absence;
• briefing terms;
• recipient response;
• leak/preemption actor if any;
• resulting notice state;
• future route effect;
• at least three counter or durable-state deltas, including relief and cost.

Branch families

Sponsor-first notice

Sponsor or management is briefed first.

Required mutation:

• slot, budget, sponsor stop-loss, or schedule pressure may improve;
• sponsor preemption, contract capture, public distrust, fan resentment, or artist trust loss rises;
• the pending action becomes sponsor-captured, costlier, public-audit-required, or recovery-only unless counterbriefed.

Inspector/archive-first notice

Inspector, archive, Han Yanshuang, lawful caller, or admissibility desk is briefed first.

Required mutation:

• lawful use, archive fraud control, custody clarity, or admissibility improves;
• inspection heat, lawful injunction risk, bureau debt, public delay, or sponsor conflict rises;
• the pending action can become lawful-only, appeal-required, quarantined, or public-route-costlier.

Public/fan-first notice

Fan public, Yu Lan, public receipt holders, pirate relay, or audience witness is briefed first.

Required mutation:

• public receipt legitimacy, fan trust, or private-capture resistance improves;
• public panic, sponsor retaliation, witness exposure, or inspection heat rises;
• the action can become public-only, counterbriefed, leaked, or witness-route-costlier.

Artist/witness-first notice

Artist, witness, proxy, refusal holder, safehouse carrier, or harmed person is briefed first.

Required mutation:

• artist trust, witness safety, consent legitimacy, or refusal preservation improves;
• schedule pressure, sponsor delay, handler burden, or witness exposure rises;
• the route can become delayed, costlier, refusal-preserved, or recovery-only.

Editor/archive-source-first notice

Editor, black-box holder, archive copy holder, or source custodian is briefed first.

Required mutation:

• cut legibility, continuity safety, or source integrity improves;
• edit debt, archive debt, source ambiguity, or public distrust rises;
• the result can become split notice, source capture, contradiction-pending, lawful-only, or recovery-only.

Silent/no credible briefing

The player acts without notice, lacks caller/proof, hides excluded claimants, or breaks terms.

Required mutation:

• immediate quiet may be preserved;
• 告知泄漏抢跑 fires or becomes default-ready;
• future route access becomes hostile, captured, public-only, lawful-only, blocked, costlier, or recovery-only.

Counter contract

Each resolution must change at least three counters or durable states. At least one must represent immediate relief and at least one must represent cost or future pressure.

Suggested counters/states:

• notice_order_state
• briefing_privilege
• embargo_integrity
• sponsor_preemption
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure
• contract_capture
• inspection_heat
• lawful_injunction_risk
• bureau_favor_debt
• public_receipt_legitimacy
• public_panic
• fan_oxygen_resentment
• artist_trust
• witness_exposure
• witness_retaliation_risk
• handler_burden
• edit_debt
• archive_debt
• source_ambiguity
• route_asset_custody
• claimant_retaliation
• future_correction_cost

Cross-system bridges

• With 制作分诊台, notice consumes handler time, lane access, and proof capacity before assignment resolves.
• With 更正档期竞拍线, a claimant briefed first can seize, narrow, leak, or counter the correction slot.
• With 剪辑室优先队列线, the first briefed claimant can capture source custody or force a rival cut to default.
• With 认领撞锁, briefing order can decide who preempts route-asset custody before formal claimant priority is heard.
• With 公开悔过账本, apology wording becomes dangerous if a harmed claimant was not briefed.
• With 受保护证人薪册, witness safety can improve only if notice order names who learned the witness exists.
• With 处理人负荷账本, the caller/handler can carry notice burden, refusal, exposure, or capture.
• With Route Assets and Custody, a proof object, witness, public receipt, source copy, or person can become captured, hostile, protected, or recovery-only because of notice order.

Non-goals

• Not a global diplomacy system.
• Not a generic notification checklist.
• Not a universal consent mechanic.
• Not a turn-count phase.
• Not a way to brief every faction safely.
• Not a replacement for correction slots, cutroom priority, claimant collision, public contrition, witness payroll, or handler burden.
