Recourse Priority Hearing / 追偿优先级听证

Recourse Priority Hearing is an assignable management rite for deciding what happens after a guarantee has moved and a payer claims recovery.

The rite is not a second underwriting choice. Underwriting asks who absorbs a future call. Recourse priority asks whether the payer can now collect from a target, whether another claimant is barred, whether the target is substituted, and which future route carries the scar.

Required inputs

The rite is fillable only when all required slots are present or explicitly absent:

docket: card.guarantee_recourse_docket
recourse_row: <active docket row>
source_exposure_id: <liability exposure id>
payer: sponsor | inspector | fan_public | editor | archive | producer | manager | split | none
principal_debtor: producer | sponsor | inspector | fan_public | archive | editor | artist | witness | manager | claimant_faction
recourse_target: money | schedule_lane | edit_capacity | proof_object | public_receipt | fan_oxygen | legal_seal | handler_time | route_asset | sponsor_escrow | facility_room
priority_proof: contract_clause | archive_order | public_receipt | fan_queue_stub | checksum | facility_access_log | witness_oath | absent
handler: <character, follower, faction desk, or explicit absence>
barred_claimant: <claimant weakened if the priority is honored>
substitute_collateral: <replacement target or none>

The player must see both the recovery target and the claimant who will be barred before choosing. A famous handler cannot satisfy the rite without priority proof or an explicit absence.

Branches

Branch A — Honor payer priority

The player accepts the payer’s first claim and lets the recovery target be collected.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: satisfied | swept
relief: payer_hostility_down | immediate_default_down | sponsor_stop_loss_pressure_down | custody_clarity_up
cost: barred_claimant_hostility_up | route_asset_pressure_up | public_receipt_distrust_up | contract_capture_up
future_route_effect: target_route_costlier | barred_claim_recovery_only

Branch B — Subordinate private recourse under public receipt

The player preserves public legitimacy by forcing a sponsor, archive, or editor claim behind public receipt, fan oxygen, witness oath, or unauthorized history.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: subordinate | converted_to_public_restitution
relief: public_receipt_legitimacy_up | fan_oxygen_balance_up | audience_stability_up
cost: sponsor_pressure_up | inspection_heat_up | witness_exposure_up | oxygen_liability_up
future_route_effect: public_audit_unlocked_with_risk

Branch C — Substitute collateral

The player prevents seizure of the original target by posting a different resource: schedule lane, edit reserve, handler time, sponsor escrow, legal seal, fan pool, facility access favor, or route asset.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: assigned | traded
relief: original_target_protected | route_control_up | claimant_collision_down
cost: substitute_target_scarred | lane_scar_up | edit_debt_up | handler_fatigue_up | future_correction_cost_up
future_route_effect: substitute_route_costlier

Branch D — Contest priority

The player uses proof, checksum, archive order, witness oath, facility access log, or public receipt to challenge the payer’s right.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: priority_contested | barred
relief: false_priority_blocked | private_capture_down | route_asset_pressure_down
cost: litigation_heat_up | coalition_pressure_up | schedule_pressure_up | source_ambiguity_up
future_route_effect: appeal_or_counterclaim_required

Branch E — Convert to public restitution

The player lets the recovery become a public restitution promise rather than private collection.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: converted_to_public_restitution
relief: public_receipt_legitimacy_up | fan_oxygen_balance_up | audience_stability_up
cost: public_audit_pressure_up | sponsor_stop_loss_pressure_up | inspection_heat_up | witness_exposure_up
future_route_effect: public_payment_route_open_with_exposure

Branch F — Refuse, hide, or miss the row

The player lacks docket, proof, handler, target access, or public witness; hides the row; or lets a faction sweep first.

Expected outcome:

recourse_state_after: defaulted | recovery_only
emitted_event: storyteller.event.recourse_sweep_default.v1
cost: route_asset_pressure_up | facility_access_pressure_up | claimant_hostility_up | black_screen_slots_up
future_route_effect: blocked | captured | hostile | costlier | recovery_only

Resolution contract

Every resolution must record:

• recourse_state_before and recourse_state_after;
• selected payer;
• principal debtor;
• recourse target;
• priority proof or explicit absence;
• handler or explicit absence;
• barred claimant;
• substitute collateral or explicit absence;
• at least three counter or durable-state deltas;
• one future route effect.

A successful priority hearing may reduce payer hostility or prevent default, but it must scar a target, bar a claimant, expose a public route, or consume substitute collateral.

Failure pressure

If no credible priority ruling exists, the rite should not disappear. It should arm 追偿扫场违约, expose absence, or convert the row into recovery-only play.

Recovery is allowed only through higher collateral, public restitution, appeal, facility reroute, route-asset rescue, or a later counterclaim that preserves the scar.
