Ending Eligibility Hearing / 结局资格听证

Ending Eligibility Hearing is the management rite that reads scarred route state and decides which ending families are eligible, blocked, costlier, split, captured, or recovery-only.

It consumes one or more 结局伤痕账本 rows. It does not award endings by score, route count, or fixed numbered trigger.

The rite exists because a late-game branch should not become terminally irrelevant after it has already mutated liability, custody, public proof, release, proxy posture, or route assets.

Offer conditions

Offer this rite when:

1. at least one Ending Scar Ledger row exists or can be derived from a mature scar;
2. the row names a source branch, proof carrier, privileged claimant, harmed claimant, scar state, and route effect;
3. at least two ending families could plausibly be affected by the row;
4. at least one ending family would be falsely clean if the scar were ignored;
5. the player has at least one handler, proof carrier, public anchor, legal seal, edit checksum, route asset, proxy testimony, black-box copy, or explicit absence to assign.

The rite may appear near terminal resolution, route import, epilogue assembly, or canon export, but its trigger is scar state, not a turn number.

Branches

Branch A — Seat public scar verdict

The player assigns public proof, fan oath, witness proof, artist refusal, pirate relay, black-box copy, or unauthorized history as the terminal proof carrier.

Resolution contract

Every resolution must write a before/after row:

ledger_before:
  scar_id: <stable id>
  source_row_id: <ticket, docket, receipt, proxy row, route asset, event, or proof object>
  ending_family: <candidate family>
  scar_state_before: <state>
  route_effect_before: <effect>
ledger_after:
  selected_terminal_posture: public_verdict | private_capture | split_canon | recovery_only | block_false_clean | reopen_black_box
  ending_family_after: public_scar_verdict | private_clean_capture | split_custody_canon | recovery_only_broadcast | black_box_opened | blocked
  scar_state_after: eligible | blocked | costlier | public_only | lawful_only | split | captured | recovery_only | contradiction_pending
  claimant_privileged: <claimant>
  claimant_harmed: <claimant>
  route_effect_after: <effect>
counter_or_state_deltas:
  - <relief>
  - <cost>
  - <future mutation>

The rite fails if it records only ending unlocked, ending locked, a score threshold, or a generic good/bad ending flag.

Default emission

Emit or record 结局伤痕审计 when:

• the resolver tries to choose an ending while relevant scars remain unseated;
• a private clean ending claims exclusive truth while a public countercopy survives;
• a public verdict claims moral closure while a lawful capture or release refusal survives;
• a split ending lacks two named copy carriers;
• a recovery-only route is upgraded into a clean ending with no new scar;
• black-box proof exposes a claimant omitted from the proposed terminal family.

Non-goals

• Not an ending selector menu.
• Not a score gate.
• Not a turn timer.
• Not raw ending-count expansion.
• Not a replacement for custody, release, proxy, or stabilization systems.
• Not valid unless it mutates ending family, claimant privilege, harmed claimant, proof carrier, scar state, and route effect.
