Three-Key Custody Hearing / 三钥羁押听证

Three-Key Custody Hearing is the rite where the producer chooses how to move a contested asset when sponsor, inspection, and cutroom custody all matter.

It is not a clean approval screen. Every valid resolution must show which key is seated, split, escrowed, refused, or left absent; who is harmed; what finite cost is paid; and how future route access changes.

Offer condition

Offer this rite when:

1. 三钥羁押案卷 has at least one live row;
2. the row names one shared asset or target version;
3. sponsor, inspection, and cutroom keys are visible, or one key is explicitly absent/refused;
4. at least two release patterns are possible;
5. one pattern can reduce immediate pressure while making another route state worse;
6. ignoring the row can emit 三钥羁押锁死.

The offer is state-driven and must never depend on a fixed numbered turn.

Resolution families

Branch A — Seat all three keys with a debt scar

The player seats sponsor, inspection, and cutroom keys, but only by recording a durable debt or scar.

selected_release_pattern: split_three_key
key_states_after:
  sponsor: key_seated
  inspection: key_seated
  cutroom: key_seated
relief_any:
  - route_asset_released
  - immediate_lockout_blocked
  - source_and_admissibility_named
cost_any:
  - sponsor_escrow_debt_up
  - inspection_heat_up
  - edit_debt_up
  - public_receipt_distrust_up
future_route_effect_any:
  - protected
  - costlier
  - contradiction_pending

This branch must fail if seating all three keys erases sponsor, inspection, and edit cost for free.

Branch B — Sponsor + inspection release, cutroom excluded

The player uses funding and lawful/admissible cover to move the public-safe version before the source custodian is satisfied.

selected_release_pattern: sponsor_inspection
key_states_after:
  sponsor: key_seated
  inspection: key_seated
  cutroom: key_refused | key_hostile | key_missing

Branch C — Sponsor + cutroom release, inspection excluded

The player lets the sponsor fund a cutroom copy without complete inspection cover.

selected_release_pattern: sponsor_cutroom
key_states_after:
  sponsor: key_seated
  cutroom: key_seated
  inspection: key_refused | key_hostile | key_missing | key_counterfeit

Branch D — Inspection + cutroom release, sponsor excluded

The player protects lawful/source custody while refusing sponsor funding, branding, or oxygen liability terms.

  inspection: key_seated
  cutroom: key_seated
  sponsor: key_refused | key_hostile | key_missing

future_route_effect_any:
  - lawful_only
  - public_route_costlier
  - sponsor_retaliation
  - recovery_only

Branch E — Split or escrow the keys

The player refuses a clean release and splits the asset into public/formal/source copies or escrows the proof until another surface pays.

selected_release_pattern: split_three_key | escrow_and_delay
key_states_after_any:
  - key_split
  - key_escrowed
relief_any:
  - exclusive_capture_blocked

  - handler_burden_up
  - future_correction_cost_up
future_route_effect_any:
  - split_canon
  - contradiction_pending
  - costlier

Branch F — Quarantine or blackout fold

The player admits no safe release exists and locks the asset instead of faking custody.

selected_release_pattern: quarantine | blackout_fold
key_states_after_any:
  - key_escrowed
  - key_seized
  - key_missing
relief_any:
  - fraud_blocked

  - public_grief_stability_down
future_route_effect_any:
  - recovery_only
  - blackout_pressure_up
  - blocked

Branch G — No valid release / lockout

The player opens the rite without enough proof, hides a missing key, treats a counterfeit key as valid, or ignores a default-ready row.

selected_release_pattern: no_valid_release
emitted_event: storyteller.event.three_key_custody_lockout.v1
asset_state_after_any:
  - sponsor_captured
  - inspection_seized

Failure cases

The rite must fail if:

• it offers release with no named asset;
• it hides any of the three key states;
• every key holder is satisfied for free;
• no holder is excluded, indebted, split, delayed, or made hostile;
• proof/absence and collateral are omitted;
• the result does not mutate future route access, difficulty, custody, copy state, or recovery-only status;
• the rite is offered because of a numbered turn rather than docket state.

Non-goals

• Not a general committee vote.
• Not a governance mechanism.
• Not a generic legal approval screen.
• Not a clean ending shortcut.
• Not a replacement for 播出偿付听证, 剪辑室优先听证, or 叙述优先听证.
