Appeal Retaliation Counterpressure Hearing / 申诉报复反压听证

Appeal Retaliation Counterpressure Hearing is an assignable management rite for converting a visible appeal retaliation into scarred counterpressure.

The rite is offered only when 申诉报复账本 records a source default from 指标申诉报复默认, a retaliation author, a trace or explicit absence, and a future reader.

This rite does not retry 指标捕获申诉听证. The appeal already failed, was suppressed, was bought without release, or was under-protected. This rite asks whether the producer can make the retaliation itself expensive, visible, stayed, split, or overcommitted.

Entry state

entry_state:
  trigger_kind: state_pressure
  ledger: storyteller.card.appeal_retaliation_ledger.v1
  source_retaliation_event: storyteller.event.metric_appeal_retaliation_default.v1 | equivalent
  captured_report_id: <stable_report_id>
  retaliation_author_present: true
  pressure_trace_or_explicit_absence_visible: true
  future_reader_present: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true

The rite is invalid if it is opened from a fixed numbered turn, day interval, fixed chapter phase, raw page count, or lens-health state.

Assignment slots

The rite must require these slots or record explicit absence:

assignment_required:
  ledger: storyteller.card.appeal_retaliation_ledger.v1
  source_retaliation_event: storyteller.event.metric_appeal_retaliation_default.v1 | equivalent
  captured_report_id: <id>
  retaliation_author: board | sponsor | inspector | editor | fan_public | crew_table | route_asset_claimant | blackout_system | equivalent
  retaliation_vector: discredit | sponsor_retainer | lawful_reversal | public_backfire | crew_leak | route_asset_recapture | false_clean_hardened | recovery_only | equivalent
  pressure_trace_or_absence: <trace_or_explicit_absence>
  selected_counterpressure_mode: public_trace_exposure | lawful_stay | sponsor_release_call | route_asset_counterseal | witness_shelter | bait_overcommitment | explicit_no_answer
  handler_or_absence: <handler_or_explicit_absence>
  shield_or_absence: public_receipt | lawful_oath | sponsor_release | route_counterseal | payroll_shelter | edit_mask | explicit_absence | equivalent
  price_or_absence: exposure | bureau_favor_debt | contract_capture | quarantine | payroll | edit_debt | fan_oxygen_liability | explicit_absence | equivalent
  future_reader: <route_or_slot_or_license_or_public_table>

A famous character, public outrage, legal authority, sponsor money, or edit control cannot satisfy the rite unless it fills a slot or the absence is explicit.

Counter contract

Every non-default branch must mutate at least three counters or durable states:

counter_deltas_required:
  relief: at_least_one
  cost: at_least_one
  future_reader_or_route_effect: at_least_one

Default or failed counterpressure must still mutate at least three durable states, but may have no relief.

Non-goals

• Not a governance review.
• Not a generic faction reputation change.
• Not a free cleanup after a failed appeal.
• Not valid unless retaliation author, trace, handler, shield or absence, price, and future reader are visible.
