Broadcast Reality Drift Audit Storyline / 播出实在漂移审计

Broadcast Reality Drift Audit is a non-character pressure storyline for moments when Storyteller has already aired, edited, archived, scheduled, or suppressed a public version, and later proof makes that version contradict another hardened surface.

This storyline turns contradiction into management work. The player must decide whether to file a formal docket, publish a public receipt, patch continuity, contain through sponsor leverage, quarantine the split, or let double reality harden.

Primary playable question

When the broadcast has made a public reality and the receipts no longer agree with it, who gets to reconcile the city: inspector, public witness, editor, sponsor, archive quarantine, or nobody?

Every answer stabilizes one surface and damages another.

Why this is the next useful expansion

Current Storyteller content already has strong custody, oxygen, memorial, audience stability, replacement saint, and voice/body pressure surfaces. The remaining gap is the bridge between them: after a branch succeeds, its aired version can later conflict with a different proof chain. Without a drift audit, those conflicts become either prose retcons or hidden flags.

This storyline gives that bridge a concrete playable shape:

• 播出实在漂移 defines the state machine;
• 实在漂移案卷 stores the contradiction;
• 实在漂移审计 is the assignable management action;
• 实在漂移介入 makes failure and intervention visible.

State-triggered entry

Open this storyline when all of the following are true:

1. at least one aired, archived, edited, scheduled, or suppressed public state exists;
2. a later object contradicts it: source tape, body/voice receipt, artist refusal, fan oxygen testimony, sponsor patch, archive ruling, black-box checksum, pirate relay memory, public witness, or audience stability patch;
3. at least two claimant surfaces are live: inspector, archive bureau, sponsor desk, editor, unauthorized historian, fan oxygen public, artist boundary, pirate relay, or schedule board;
4. at least one pressure counter is live: reality_drift, continuity_hazard, inspection_heat, archive_fraud, audience_churn, sponsor_stop_loss_pressure, public_receipt_legitimacy, fan_oxygen_resentment, contract_capture, or black_screen_slots;
5. the contradiction has not already been reconciled, quarantined, captured, or hardened.

This storyline is entered from contradictory state and claimant pressure. It must not rely on a fixed numbered sequence trigger.

Current normal gameplay entry

The current concrete source path begins with four starter-backed cards already in hand:

Audit slot	Starter card	Play meaning
docket	slot.last_air_edit	raw aired-version surface
contradiction_object	asset.lyra_voiceprint	archived voiceprint contradicting the aired surface
handler_or_absence	sponsor.haloair	named sponsor handler and counteroffering desk
proof_or_cost_support	card.voice_rights_token	lawful voice-rights proof

Assigning those cards to rite.reality_drift_audit and selecting appended choice 6, file_liaison_counteroffer_docket, produces the formal card.reality_drift_docket, card.sponsor_patch_stop_loss_order, card.storyteller.desk_liaison_counteroffer_docket.v1, and actual card.storyteller.ning_zhe_desk_liaison.v1. The established choices 0–5 retain their prior action results.

This path uses normal gameplay inventory and slot validation. The formal docket is an output of the audit branch, not a circular prerequisite for that branch.

Core route states

Route state	Meaning	Required consequence
drift_detected	Contradiction is visible but not assigned.	Offer docket, patch, disclosure, containment, quarantine, or miss.
inspector_docket_open	Lawful actor demands reconciliation.	Drift or fraud lowers; audit, bureau, sponsor, or schedule cost rises.
public_receipt_realign	Public proof names the contradiction.	Legitimacy or audience stability rises; sponsor, archive, fan, or inspector pressure rises.
editorial_patch_version	Edit continuity keeps the broadcast legible.	Immediate audience/schedule risk lowers; distrust, archive debt, or future fraud rises.
sponsor_containment_version	Contract or sponsor money contains the contradiction.	Immediate sponsor/slot pressure lowers; capture, fan resentment, or later inspection rises.
quarantined_split_version	Contradiction is contained as unsafe to air.	Fraud or blackout risk lowers; public grief, fan, sponsor, or schedule cost rises.
double_reality_hardened	Rival public versions survive.	Future route costs rise; correction requires harder proof or creates blackout pressure.

Branch model

Branch A — Formal inspector docket

The player assigns Inspector Rhee, Han Yanshuang, lawful proof, or a white-glove audit path.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = inspector_docket_open;
• reality_drift -1, archive_fraud -1, or custody_clarity +1;
• inspection_heat +1, bureau_favor_debt +1, sponsor_stop_loss_pressure +1, or schedule cost;
• a follow-up audit or appeal hook remains.

Branch B — Public receipt realignment

The player assigns Yu Lan, fan witness, source tape, public receipt, or audience testimony.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = public_receipt_realign;
• public_receipt_legitimacy +1, audience_stability +1, or fan_oxygen_balance +1;
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure +1, inspection_heat +1, archive_debt +1, or fan_oxygen_resentment +1;
• future sponsor or inspector branch becomes contested rather than erased.

Branch C — Editorial patch

The player assigns Baiya, an editor, black-box checksum, or cutroom ledger.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = editorial_patch_version;
• continuity_hazard -1, audience_churn -1, or slot pressure decreases;
• archive_debt +1, public_receipt_distrust +1, voice_integrity_risk +1, or future_fraud_cost +1;
• public receipt or inspector correction later costs more.

Branch D — Sponsor containment

The player assigns Shen Luo, Orion Breath, sponsor stop-loss authority, or clean contract language.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = sponsor_containment_version;
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure -1 or immediate slot pressure decreases;
• contract_capture +1, fan_oxygen_resentment +1, public_receipt_distrust +1, or delayed inspection heat;
• the docket remains captured or delayed, not deleted.

Branch E — Quarantine split version

The player proves the contradiction is unsafe to air and locks it away temporarily.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = quarantined_split_version;
• archive_fraud -1, black_screen_slots -1, or voice_integrity_risk -1;
• fan_oxygen_resentment +1, public_grief_stability -1, schedule cost, or sponsor objection rises;
• future release requires a public, legal, or memorial cost.

Branch F — Hardened double reality

The player lacks proof, lacks handler, suppresses the docket, or lets rival versions remain active.

Expected outcomes:

• drift_resolution = double_reality_hardened, docket_unfiled, or witness_missing;
• reality_drift +1, continuity_hazard +1, black_screen_slots +1, archive_fraud +1, or audience_churn +1;
• future audit, public receipt, edit patch, or sponsor cleanup becomes more expensive.

Counter contract

At least two counters must change whenever the storyline resolves or mutates:

• reality_drift
• continuity_hazard
• inspection_heat
• bureau_favor_debt
• archive_fraud
• archive_debt
• custody_clarity
• public_receipt_legitimacy
• public_receipt_distrust
• fan_oxygen_balance
• fan_oxygen_resentment
• audience_stability
• audience_churn
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure
• contract_capture
• black_screen_slots
• future_fraud_cost

Missability and recovery

This storyline is missable when the player repeatedly suppresses contradictions, uses sponsor containment without proof, relies on editorial patching until public receipts become impossible, or lets an inspector/witness surface be blocked before the docket is filed.

Recovery is allowed only at higher cost. A hardened double reality can be recovered through one of:

• a formal docket with greater inspection heat;
• a public receipt with greater sponsor or fan oxygen backlash;
• an editorial patch that admits archive debt;
• a sponsor settlement that increases contract capture;
• a quarantine that reduces fraud but worsens public grief or schedule cost.

Integration notes

• With 观众稳定性下限, drift can create a floor breach because the audience no longer has a legible reason to keep watching.
• With Broadcast Schedule, drift can occupy or scar slots when contradictory public versions demand correction.
• With Blackout Incidents, a failed drift audit can fold into black-screen pressure.
• With Broadcast Reality, drift is the cost of making reality public before custody and proof chains are settled.

Non-goals

• Not filler lore.
• Not a fixed sequence chapter.
• Not a generic PR crisis.
• Not an inspector-only character arc.
• Not a clean retcon button.
• Not an ending-only fork; each route state must affect future assignable options, counters, tags, or route availability.
