Sponsor Copy Clearance / 冠名口播清算

Sponsor Copy Clearance is the assignable management rite for deciding whether a sponsor line may enter broadcast reality as a warranty, must be narrowed, must be countered, or must be refused before it contaminates future routes.

It operates on 冠名口播担保案卷. The rite is not a generic ad approval action. It is a reality-bound clearance hearing: the player chooses who carries the line, which proof supports it, which claimant is harmed, and which future reader will treat the line as warranty, disclaimer, refusal, or false statement.

Offer condition

Offer this rite only when the sponsor copy docket is concrete.

offer_condition:
  card_present: storyteller.card.sponsor_copy_warranty_docket.v1
  sponsor_pressure_present: true
  copy_line_present: true
  warranty_claim_present: true
  requested_reader_or_speaker_present_or_explicit_absence: true
  proof_state_present_or_explicit_absence: true
  claimants_min: 2
  future_reader_present: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true
  no_fixed_day_or_week_trigger: true
  no_raw_count_trigger: true

The rite must not appear because a fixed number of turns passed, because an ad slot exists, or because generic sponsor pressure is high. It appears because a specific sponsor line can become a specific warranty.

Failure contract

The rite fails if:

• eligibility uses fixed turn, day, week, chapter, or raw count;
• copy line is not named;
• warranty claim is absent;
• requested reader/speaker is hidden;
• proof bridge or explicit absence is hidden;
• harmed claimant is hidden;
• future reader is hidden;
• sponsor relief clears pressure without debt, capture, call trigger, public scar, or future route change;
• false warranty event is only narration.

Non-goals

• Not a brand safety minigame.
• Not a generic sponsor negotiation.
• Not an ad inventory scheduler.
• Not a free relief action.
• Not valid unless the selected boundary changes future route acceptance.
