Comped Ticket Oxygen Surcharge Receipt Mechanic

Comped Ticket Oxygen Surcharge Receipt preserves the difference between audience relief and hidden oxygen debt. The mechanism opens after a comp-ticket state already exists and a later reader wants to treat it as clean universal goodwill.

The source comp can be valid. The mechanism prevents that validity from erasing the surcharge carrier, the benefiting reader, the burdened future reader, and the route mutation that follows.

State-Triggered Entry

Open this mechanism only from live state pressure:

entry_state:
  trigger_kind: state_pressure
  source_comp_row_visible: true
  surcharge_carrier_or_explicit_absence_visible: true
  benefiting_reader_visible: true
  burdened_future_reader_visible: true
  requested_clean_use_visible: true
  future_reader_consumes_comp_state: true
  proof_bridge_or_explicit_absence_visible: true
  player_can_certify_split_escrow_convert_quarantine_scar_or_default: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true
  no_fixed_day_or_week_trigger: true
  no_raw_ticket_count_trigger: true
  no_dashboard_or_lens_health_trigger: true

The mechanism fails if it opens from ticket volume, fixed turn timing, weekly cleanup, dashboard state, lens health, or a comp row with no future reader attempting to consume it.

Afteruse States

comped_ticket_oxygen_surcharge_states:
  - unused_comp_row
  - scoped_comp
  - surcharge_served
  - liability_split
  - surcharge_escrowed
  - route_debt_converted
  - comp_quarantined
  - scoped_scar
  - false_clean_comp
  - recovery_only

A served comp ticket remains narrow unless the review records a separate proof bridge for the surcharge. A route can inherit goodwill and still owe oxygen debt.

Required Docket

Comped Ticket Oxygen Surcharge Docket or equivalent must record:

comped_ticket_oxygen_surcharge_docket:
  source_comp_row: <row id or explicit_absence>
  surcharge_carrier: <sponsor ledger, public receipt, route debt, oxygen table, or explicit_absence>
  benefiting_reader: <reader receiving comp goodwill>
  burdened_future_reader: <reader, route, claimant, or explicit_absence inheriting surcharge>
  requested_clean_use: sponsor_release | public_goodwill | archive_release | lawful_annex | route_asset_clearance | management_report | broadcast_reality | recovery_gate | ending_gate | equivalent
  proof_bridge_or_absence: <surcharge receipt, public notice, lawful addendum, archive note, or explicit_absence>
  selected_posture: certify_narrow_comp | split_sponsor_fan_liability | escrow_surcharge_carrier | convert_to_route_debt | quarantine_comp_claim | accept_scoped_scar | false_clean_comp_default
  comp_state_after: <state>
  future_route_effect: <effect>
  counter_deltas_after_service: <relief cost future>

The docket fails if it records only ticket_comped, sponsor_paid, fan_satisfied, route_open, or goodwill accepted.

Branch Contract

Every non-default branch must mutate at least one relief surface, one cost surface, and one future reader or route effect.

Branch	Relief	Cost	Future effect
certify_narrow_comp	named reader can cite the comp with served surcharge	universal comp reuse is blocked	accepted_with_receipt
split_sponsor_fan_liability	sponsor credit separates from fan oxygen burden	fan/public/sponsor pressure rises	split_required
escrow_surcharge_carrier	surcharge carrier is held for proof	route delay and audit burden rise	bridge_required
convert_to_route_debt	hidden charge becomes visible route debt	route, caption, or access costs rise	route_costlier
quarantine_comp_claim	false clean goodwill is blocked	current recap/release/renewal stalls	blocked_or_recovery_only
accept_scoped_scar	one reader can proceed with public scar	public trust, fan oxygen, or lawful confidence drops	accepted_with_scar
false_clean_comp_default	no clean relief is required	surcharge and burdened future reader remain hidden	hostile_costlier_or_recovery_only

No branch may make one comp ticket clean proof for sponsor, public, lawful, archive, fan, management, route-asset, broadcast-reality, recovery, and ending readers at once.

Default Contract

Use False-Clean Comp Surcharge Default when a future reader consumes comp goodwill without source row, surcharge carrier, benefiting reader, burdened reader, requested clean use, proof bridge, selected posture, after-state, or future route effect.

false_clean_comp_surcharge_default:
  false_clean_comp_claim: true
  source_comp_row_or_absence: <comp row or explicit_absence>
  hidden_or_delayed_surcharge: <surcharge carrier or explicit_absence>
  benefiting_reader: <reader>
  burdened_future_reader: <reader>
  comp_state_after: false_clean_comp | surcharge_served | liability_split | surcharge_escrowed | route_debt_converted | quarantined | scoped_scar | recovery_only
  future_reader_effect: surcharge_receipt_required | reader_restriction_due | route_debt_due | split_afteruse_required | blocked | hostile | costlier | recovery_only
  counter_deltas_min: 3
  comp_relief_remains_narrow: true
  durable_mutation: true

Non-Goals

• Not a general sponsor-comp settlement.
• Not a raw audience-capacity or ticket-count rule.
• Not an oxygen refund or rebate collar unless the comp row is being reused.
• Not a dashboard validation surface.
• Not valid unless a later reader consumes comp goodwill while surcharge burden remains visible or explicitly absent.
