Claimant Briefing Call / 认领告知电话

Claimant Briefing Call is an assignable management rite for choosing notice order before a dangerous Storyteller action goes public or becomes legally/contractually live.

The rite is not a dialogue scene. It consumes proof, handler attention, notice window, and claimant trust. It must leave a durable notice-order state.

Required inputs

A valid invocation requires:

• 认领告知案卷;
• pending action to be briefed;
• first claimant to brief, or explicit no-briefing choice;
• excluded claimant list;
• proof anchor or explicit absence;
• handler, route asset, witness carrier, legal caller, sponsor bridge, public caller, editor, or explicit absence;
• briefing terms or explicit no-embargo state;
• accepted cost.

The rite fails the content contract if it lets the player tell everyone safely, brief nobody without consequence, or convert notice into a clean consent receipt.

State-triggered entry

Offer this rite when:

1. a live pending action has at least two affected claimant families;
2. one claimant can preempt, leak, injunct, fund, retaliate, protect, counterbrief, or defect if told first;
3. one claimant can be harmed by delayed or absent notice;
4. a proof anchor, handler, notice window, or explicit absence exists;
5. notice order can mutate future play.

No fixed turn count or arbitrary day count may open this rite.
