Operator Relay Chain Contamination / 操作员接力链污染机制

Operator Relay Chain Contamination defines the playable state machine for a scarred source claim that moves through multiple operator-derived rows before a future reader consumes it.

The mechanism targets a specific gap in the current green corpus. The vault now has strong single-surface operators: 楼刻 for caption routing, 陆纷 for clip syndication, and 岑回 for late backflow receipts. Each can be recruited, missed, protected, captured, or made hostile. The remaining risk is chain laundering: each row can be locally valid while the relay between rows drops the scar.

This mechanism uses 操作员接力链账本, 操作员接力链复核, and 虚假洁净接力链默认.

Mechanic promise

A relay chain is playable only if the game can answer:

• what source claim entered the chain;
• what scar or explicit absence traveled with it;
• which operator rows cited prior rows as proof;
• which operator link became visible, absent, protected, captured, hostile, or missed;
• who benefits if the relay becomes clean;
• who is harmed or omitted if the relay is merged;
• which future reader or route consumes the resulting chain state.

The mechanism fails if the newest clean row automatically replaces earlier scars.

Relay chain states

State	Meaning	Required consequence
chain_unseen	Relay exists but no future route is consuming it.	Do not trigger yet.
chain_visible	At least two operator rows and row order are visible.	Player can review, defer, or risk default.
scar_carried	Original scar remains attached across cited rows.	Future route may accept with scar and cost.
split_chain	Rows serve incompatible readers.	Future route must pick reader scope or accept split.
escrowed_first_row	Earliest trustworthy row is preserved while later rows wait.	Source rehearing, lawful/archive-only, or delay attaches.
protected_link	One operator link is protected because chain trust depends on them.	Operator exposure/cost rises; future chain reuse reads protection.
public_addendum_required	Clean relay is corrected through public addendum.	Public legitimacy may rise; sponsor/public distrust cost remains.
quarantined_relay	Relay use is blocked until rebuilt.	Current route delays, blocks, or becomes recovery-only.
scoped_clean_relay	One clean use is accepted with reader scope and named harm.	Sponsor/mirror/lawful/public-only restriction attaches.
false_clean_relay	Latest clean row is treated as full source proof.	Default event fires or arms and future route mutates.
hostile_relay	Hidden operator or harmed reader contests the chain.	Hostile witness/public/route pressure appears.
recovery_only_relay	The chain survives only as a recovery hook.	Clean future use is blocked without scarred repair.

Branch families

Carry chain scar

Preserve the original scar across all cited rows.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: scar_carried;
• relay_chain_legibility or scar_tag_integrity improves;
• operator_exposure, sponsor_stop_loss_pressure, or public_attention_to_scar rises;
• future route accepts with scar or requires scoped reuse.

Split relay readers

Admit that caption, clip, recap, roll-call, mirror, or backflow rows serve different readers.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: split_chain;
• selected reader is unblocked;
• contradiction, handler burden, or public distrust rises;
• future route becomes split-required, sponsor-only, mirror-only, access-only, lawful-only, or public-only.

Escrow first row

Preserve the first trustworthy row and delay downstream proof use.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: escrowed_first_row;
• proof contamination risk decreases;
• route delay, archive debt, or recovery cost rises;
• future source rehearing or lawful/archive-only use is required.

Protect operator link

Protect the operator whose state makes the chain legible.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: protected_link;
• operator state becomes protected, retained, recruited, or scarred-but-available;
• witness exposure, payroll burden, handler burden, or inspection heat rises;
• future route reads operator protection before accepting chain reuse.

Publish chain addendum

Tell public or route reader that the relay was narrower than the clean row claimed.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: public_addendum_required;
• public receipt legitimacy or broadcast reality stability improves;
• sponsor pressure, fan resentment, or public distrust rises;
• future reuse requires addendum or public audit.

Quarantine relay

Block downstream use because the relay would contaminate the route.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: quarantined_relay;
• false clean relay is blocked;
• schedule, route delay, claimant hostility, or recovery pressure rises;
• future route is blocked, delayed, or recovery-only unless rebuilt.

Accept scoped clean relay

Accept one clean downstream use while naming scope, beneficiary, and harmed reader.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: scoped_clean_relay;
• immediate route, sponsor, or mirror pressure improves;
• harmed reader hostility, public distrust, or correction cost rises;
• future route is sponsor-only, mirror-only, lawful-only, public-only, costlier, or addendum-required.

False clean relay default

Let the latest clean row cite the whole chain.

Expected outcome:

• chain_state_after: false_clean_relay | hostile_relay | recovery_only_relay;
• 虚假洁净接力链默认 fires or arms;
• future route requires source rehearing, addendum, split, audit, or recovery.

Counter contract

Every branch must mutate at least three surfaces:

counter_deltas_required:
  relief: at_least_one
  cost: at_least_one
  future_reader_or_route_effect: at_least_one

Primary surfaces:

• relay_chain_legibility
• scar_tag_integrity
• operator_exposure
• caption_reliance
• clip_legibility
• false_all_clear
• proof_contamination_risk
• public_receipt_legitimacy
• public_receipt_distrust
• fan_oxygen_resentment
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure
• mirror_relay_contempt
• archive_debt
• handler_burden
• route_asset_integrity
• broadcast_reality_drift
• future_recovery_cost

Integration points

• 字幕证词羁押线 supplies caption rows whose operator state can be hidden downstream.
• 公开回顾捕获线 supplies official recap rows that can cite clips, captions, or backflow receipts.
• 直播现场通行瓶颈线 supplies scarred all-clear or egress receipts.
• 漏点名复核线 supplies roll-call rows that may overread backflow or recap proof.
• Broadcast Reality consumes the chain when aired history wants one clean source.
• Route Assets and Custody consumes operator state when a protected link becomes a route asset or a hostile/captured witness.

Non-goals

• Not a duplicate single-operator storyline.
• Not evidence carryover from an old session by itself.
• Not generic staff fatigue or handler burden.
• Not a marketing-share-count mechanism.
• Not a fixed-turn cleanup phase.
• Not valid unless the relay chain changes future route acceptance, operator state, harmed reader state, or broadcast reality.
