Quiet Refund Afteruse Receipt Mechanics

The quiet refund afteruse check prevents a paid refund from laundering unrelated public silence.

Required state surfaces:

  • source refund row and refund state;
  • refunded claimant or explicit absence;
  • later claimant being silenced;
  • requested afteruse and future reader/route consuming the receipt;
  • proof bridge or explicit absence;
  • harmed or omitted claimant;
  • selected afteruse posture and state after resolution;
  • counter deltas for sponsor heat, public trust, refund debt, and claimant hostility.

Default behavior is not flavor text. If the player lets the false-clean silence stand, the game records a scar that future readers can consume as a disputed receipt rather than clean consent.
