Broadcast Legality Conversion Hearing / 播出合法性转轨听证

Broadcast Legality Conversion Hearing is the management rite that changes which broadcast channel may accept a route asset.

It answers a different question from claimant priority. Claimant priority asks who gets first custody. This rite asks whether the asset can be aired, corrected, appealed, packaged, memorialized, or used to unlock a route under the channel the player intends to use.

Offer condition

Offer this rite only when a Broadcast Legality Docket exists and all of the following are true:

1. a stable asset_id exists;
2. current_legality_class is known or explicitly absent;
3. intended_use would require another channel class, license slot, mirror right, proof holder, public receipt, editor checksum, sponsor waiver, inspector seal, or witness protection;
4. at least two authority families can alter the conversion;
5. at least one future route option, rite assignment, or card acceptance changes after resolution.

This rite must not be offered from a fixed numbered turn, day interval, chapter quota, or content-count target.

Required assignment slots

  intended_use: <broadcast/correction/appeal/memorial/route unlock>
  current_legality_class: <class>

  bridge_or_absence: license_slot | mirror_right_contract | inspector_seal | public_receipt | editor_checksum | sponsor_waiver | pirate_relay | quarantine_order | explicit_absence
  handler_or_absence: han_yanshuang | shen_luo | baiya | yu_lan | production | public_witness | sponsor | inspector | none

  public_anchor: <witness/receipt/fan queue/pirate relay/artist boundary or absence>
  payment_source: cash | sponsor_bridge | favor_debt | license_slot | public_debt | edit_credit | recovery_budget | explicit_absence

The rite fails validation if it accepts a route asset without checking the asset’s channel class.

Outcome contract

Every branch must write:

branch_result:
  legality_class_before: <class>
  legality_class_after: <class>
  accepted_future_channels:
    - <channel>
  blocked_or_costlier_future_channels:
    - <channel>
  route_asset_state_after: <state>
  counter_deltas:
    relief:
      - <relief counter/state>
    cost:
      - <cost counter/state>

The rite is invalid if a branch only changes money, mood, or flavor while future route acceptance remains unchanged.

Character pressure

• Han Yanshuang can convert to lawful or lawful-only use through oath, seal, bureau debt, or quarantine.
• Shen Luo can retrofit mirror rights or sponsor-safe language, but debt and capture must remain visible.
• Baiya can create editor-safe cuts, checksums, and redactions, but cannot erase source ambiguity for free.
• Yu Lan can anchor public counter-receipts, making the route public-visible while raising exposure and sponsor heat.

Non-goals

• Not a generic hearing.
• Not a free cleanup after illegal broadcast.
• Not a duplicate of claimant priority; this rite must change channel legality and future acceptance.
• Not valid without branch divergence and costed success.
• Not bound to a fixed turn or countdown.
