Branch Reward Vesting Hearing / 分支奖励归属听证

Branch Reward Vesting Hearing is the assignable rite that turns an unvested positive reward into scoped, spendable, scar-bearing route state.

The rite exists for branch rewards that look helpful enough to be overused: sponsor credit, public goodwill, archive fast-lane, lawful forbearance, handler favor, route-asset privilege, access window, schedule cushion, audience oxygen lift, or proof shortcut.

Assignment contract

The rite must require concrete slots or explicit absence:

assignment_required:
  docket: storyteller.card.branch_reward_vesting_docket.v1
  selected_reward_row: <row id>
  source_success: <surface id>
  reward_object_or_absence: <reward or explicit_absence>
  provisional_owner_or_absence: <owner or explicit_absence>
  candidate_spend_reader: <reader>
  excluded_or_subordinated_reader: <reader or explicit_absence>
  selected_posture: vest_to_beneficiary | split_by_reader | escrow_reward | convert_to_route_asset | transfer_with_receipt | spend_now_with_scar | forfeit_or_quarantine | default_capture
  handler_or_absence: <handler or explicit_absence>
  proof_bridge_or_absence: <recognized basis reward receipt route asset proof public receipt lawful annex or explicit_absence>
  cost_or_scar_or_absence: <cost scar or explicit_absence>
  future_reader_or_route: <reader route rite package proof window or explicit_absence>

A famous handler, sponsor payment, archive stamp, public enthusiasm, or legal wording cannot vest the reward unless the owner, reader scope, excluded reader, proof bridge, cost, and future effect are named.

Branch families

Posture	Immediate relief	Cost or scar	Future effect
vest_to_beneficiary	source beneficiary gains clear spend right	rival reader pressure or scope cost rises	accepted with scope
split_by_reader	two readers can use weaker shares	ambiguity, future bridge cost, or handler burden rises	split required
escrow_reward	false spend is blocked	delay, archive debt, sponsor pressure, or public distrust rises	bridge required
convert_to_route_asset	reward becomes playable object	maintenance, custody, or loadout pressure rises	route asset required
transfer_with_receipt	reward can move to another owner	transfer debt, public notice, or claimant hostility rises	transferred with receipt
spend_now_with_scar	current route opens	reward is marked spent, reader-limited, or costlier	accepted with scar
forfeit_or_quarantine	unsafe reward use is blocked	current route loses perk or becomes slower	blocked or recovery-only
default_capture	fastest desk may gain short relief	reward captured as false universal or private advantage	captured, hostile, or contradiction pending
