Protected Final-Take Chain / 终剪保护链
A protected final-take chain is a scoped custody tuple, not an ownership buff:
take + source master + Han + artist boundary + receipt + editor protection + release channel + future reader.
The mechanism opens only after Han is recruited and protected. Every resolution creates a named chain state and future-use rule. A lawful resolution improves custody while adding inspection, schedule, sponsor, public-access, or cutroom-capacity cost.
Failure rule
If a sponsor clean cut is substituted for the source master, protection becomes evidence of misuse. Han turns hostile, the rite is suppressed, a false owner is recorded, and future handling becomes recovery-only.
Non-equivalence rule
Source possession is not artist consent. Artist consent is not release permission. One release is not afteruse permission. A cutroom receipt is not a universal final-take license.
