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.
