Witness Carrier Discharge Review / 见证承载解除复核

Witness Carrier Discharge Review is the management rite that resolves a 见证承载解除回执. It asks whether a witness or delegate who has already carried one service may be released, renewed, substituted, protected, escrowed, publicly deferred, quarantined, or double-spent.

The rite is not a rest action. It is a custody and consent action for a named carrier whose previous service still has readers.

  - next_row_may_continue
  - reuse_consent_visible

cost_any:
  - substitute_cost_visible
  - new_carrier_capture_risk_up
future_effect_any:

Protect refusal

The carrier refuses reuse and the refusal becomes proof, not disappearance.

selected_posture: protect_refusal
relief_any:
  - coerced_reuse_blocked
  - carrier_safety_preserved
cost_any:
  - owed_reader_hostility_up
  - route_pressure_up
future_effect_any:

Lawful escrow release

A lawful reader can release or hold the carrier only for a named scope.

selected_posture: lawful_escrow_release
relief_any:
  - fraud_or_false_signature_blocked
  - proof_window_preserved
cost_any:
  - lawful_annex_debt_up
  - public_delay_up
future_effect_any:
  - lawful_only
  - annex_required
  - costlier

Publish deferred service

The reuse conflict becomes public, so a reader can see which service was deferred.

selected_posture: publish_deferred_service
relief_any:
  - hidden_reuse_exposed
  - public_receipt_legitimacy_up
cost_any:
  - sponsor_pressure_up
  - public_confusion_up
future_effect_any:
  - public_only
  - contradiction_pending

Quarantine carrier

relief_any:
  - double_spend_blocked
  - witness_safety_preserved
cost_any:
  - route_delay_up
  - archive_debt_up
  - future_route_cost_up
future_effect_any:
  - blocked
  - quarantine_required
  - recovery_only

Default double-spend

The fastest reader treats prior service as clean capacity for the next row.

selected_posture: default_double_spend
emits_or_arms: storyteller.event.witness_carrier_double_spend_default.v1
future_effect_any:
  - false_clean_reuse
  - hostile_witness
  - sponsor_only
  - lawful_only
  - public_only
  - blocked
  - recovery_only

Counter contract

Each non-default branch must mutate at least three surfaces:

counter_deltas_required:
  relief: at_least_one
  cost: at_least_one
  future_reader_or_route_effect: at_least_one

Relevant surfaces include witness_carrier_capacity, witness_discharge_debt, mandate_reuse_pressure, fan_oxygen_resentment, public_receipt_legitimacy, public_receipt_distrust, witness_retaliation_risk, handler_burden, contract_capture, lawful_annex_debt, archive_debt, route_asset_pressure, and future_route_cost.

Non-goals

• Not a cooldown.
• Not a generic staff action.
• Not a fan election.
• Not valid if the previous service, proposed reuse, and future consumer are not all visible.
