Aftershow Settlement Readback

An aftershow settlement is a quiet receipt offered after the broadcast has already shaped public reality. The slip can close a sponsor debt, preserve an archive annex, or pretend an artist consented to a cut they never saw.

Playable pressure:

• source_aftershow_settlement: a named slip from a prior broadcast, rehearsal, apology stream, or sponsor-safe wrap meeting;
• signer_or_absence: sponsor counsel, editor, fan representative, artist proxy, or explicit missing signer;
• excluded_or_harmed_reader: the party whose future route becomes costlier if the slip is read as clean consent;
• proof_bridge_or_absence: archive seal, checksum, witness receipt, fan-token row, or explicit missing bridge;
• future_reader_effect: public apology required, archive annex only, sponsor-only closure, artist challenge cost, split-reader escrow, quarantine, or recovery-only default.

Branches must have at least one relief and one cost. A public readback can reduce fan pressure while increasing sponsor hush debt; an archive annex can preserve provenance while keeping public apology unresolved; a false clean settlement creates a durable recovery route instead of universal consent.
