Press Kit Caption Sheet Afteruse Mechanics
The mechanic treats caption-sheet afteruse as a custody review, not as a timer or quantity gate. Required surfaces are source caption row, photographer or explicit absence, issue desk/date context, cited likeness scope, requested afteruse, harmed claimant or absence, proof bridge or absence, selected branch, after-state, counter deltas, and future route effect.
Branch outcomes must change named counters and set a future-reader state so later route assets cannot read the caption sheet as universal consent.
