Qian Yan Thermal First-Touch Counterwitness / 钱砚热敏首触反证线

This character storyline turns 钱砚 from flavor at a temporary sticker counter into a reachable, retainable, recruitable, capturable, hostile, and missable counterwitness. Its question is deliberately smaller than memorial licensing or touch-right adjudication:

Can a later reader still prove who applied, who signed, who touched first, and what Qian Yan saw before the white-glove seizure?

The answer must be playable. It must live in named cards, ten visible assignments, eight non-equivalent branches, durable Qian Yan state, and four focused replays.

Not a generic sticker-amnesty wrapper

The source already contains broad sticker-amnesty, memorial-license, archive-custody, artist-refusal, and touch-right systems. This storyline does not add another global mechanism above them. It binds one named person to one omitted custody seam: temporary-stamp and thermal-first-touch provenance at the counter.

Qian Yan can say that a stamp was used, an applicant was absent, a proxy signed, a hand touched first, a refusal constrained the record, or a seizure interrupted review. She cannot say the sticker was legally licensed, the subject consented, the archive owns it, or anyone may touch it again.

Ordered source chain

The storyline must preserve this causal order:

1. Rite 31 — Signature Standing creates card-storyteller-unlicensed-memorial-sticker from residue risk and the fan archive signature.
2. Rite 32 — Blackbox Loop makes the sticker’s unofficial evidence legible without granting custody.
3. Rite 33 — Artist Refusal Right creates card-storyteller-refusal-receipt; the receipt remains artist-owned.
4. Rite 34 — Sticker Amnesty Window gains the actual card-storyteller-sticker-amnesty-clerk, gains card-storyteller-amnesty-stamp-ledger, opens Qian Yan’s counter, and moves only her allowed source pressures.
5. Rite 35 — Thermal Sticker Handprint gains card-storyteller-thermal-sticker-sample and records whether the first visible print came through a fan/public or audit posture.
6. Qian Yan Review Window opens before seizure with the exact ten assignments defined below.
7. Rite 36 — Seized Sticker Box Hearing is the natural deadline. If the review is unresolved, the seizure default fires and Qian Yan becomes recovery-only.
8. Rite 37 — Touch Right Waiver is a later reader, not Qian Yan’s power. It may consume a scoped provenance/refusal row but decides touch-right posture independently.

The lens fails if Qian Yan appears from a fixed turn, if Rite 34 does not gain the actual card, if the review opens without the source evidence, or if Rite 37 is treated as a retroactive grant from Qian Yan.

Three-card docket

The source docket file contains exactly three cards:

1. storyteller.card.qian_yan_thermal_first_touch_docket.v1 — main first-touch, temporary-stamp, applicant, proxy, seizure, and branch record;
2. storyteller.card.qian_yan_touch_claimant_or_explicit_absence.v1 — the person or constituency claiming a touch was authorized, refused, forced, misattributed, or absent;
3. storyteller.card.qian_yan_named_future_reader.v1 — the named later desk that must consume the scoped result.

The main docket must keep the temporary stamp, applicant, proxy signer, first-touch actor, thermal proof, refusal status, audit posture, seizure state, Qian Yan state, relief, cost, and future effect separately readable. stamp present or handprint exists is not enough.

Exact ten assignments

storyteller.rite.qian_yan_thermal_first_touch_review.v1 exposes exactly these slots in this order:

#	Slot	Exact accepted card
1	docket	storyteller.card.qian_yan_thermal_first_touch_docket.v1
2	qian_yan	card-storyteller-sticker-amnesty-clerk
3	unlicensed_sticker	card-storyteller-unlicensed-memorial-sticker
4	stamp_ledger	card-storyteller-amnesty-stamp-ledger
5	thermal_sample	card-storyteller-thermal-sticker-sample
6	fan_signature	card-storyteller-fan-archive-signature
7	refusal_receipt	card-storyteller-refusal-receipt
8	audit_seal	card-storyteller-audit-seal
9	touch_claimant_or_absence	storyteller.card.qian_yan_touch_claimant_or_explicit_absence.v1
10	future_reader	storyteller.card.qian_yan_named_future_reader.v1

The anonymous ST-SCALE-11 operator cannot fill qian_yan. No generic any, hidden extra slot, virtual card, or tag-only substitution passes the lens.

Eight ordered branches

Choice	Option id	Qian Yan state	Core result	Retained?	Route asset?
0	recruit_thermal_first_touch_counterwitness	recruited_thermal_first_touch_counterwitness	Protect the named applicant/proxy/first-touch row and counterwitness.	yes	yes
1	preserve_fan_first_touch_chain	fan_first_touch_chain_preserved	Preserve fan-first-touch provenance without turning fan signature into consent.	yes	no
2	honor_artist_refusal	artist_refusal_honored	Record that the artist-owned refusal constrained touching and later citation.	yes	no
3	split_touch_provenance_from_temporary_license	touch_provenance_split_from_temporary_license	Keep physical first-touch proof separate from the stamp’s claimed license scope.	yes	no
4	record_forced_proxy_and_reopen_applicant	forced_proxy_recorded_applicant_reopened	Record a forced/unauthorized proxy and require the applicant to answer later.	yes	no
5	accept_white_glove_counter_capture	white_glove_counter_captured	Audit captures the counter and Qian Yan leaves player custody.	no	no
6	suppress_and_antagonize_qian_yan	hostile_contamination_source	Suppression loses Qian Yan and arms hostile countertestimony.	no	no
7	let_seizure_close_counter	sticker_counter_seized_missed	Close the counter into a durable seizure miss and recovery-only future.	no	no

Every branch must write a distinct provenance state, Qian Yan state, relief, cost, and future-reader effect. Every declared counter delta must be backed by a runtime effect.

Recruitment contract

Only choice 0 grants route_asset.qian_yan_temporary_license_counterwitness. Recruitment requires:

• the actual Qian Yan card in the exact slot;
• the complete ten-slot evidence set;
• a named applicant/proxy posture rather than an inferred signer;
• a visible protection cost or future claim;
• no seizure default already resolved.

The route asset allows one later reader to verify the scoped counter record. It is not a memorial license, consent token, archive key, legal body, seizure warrant, or reusable touch waiver.

Miss, capture, and hostile paths

Choices 5, 6, and 7 are different losses:

• white-glove capture keeps an audit-readable record but removes Qian Yan from player custody;
• hostile suppression turns Qian Yan into an adverse witness and raises future response cost;
• seizure-close miss lets Rite 36 close the counter before adjudication and fires the default.

None may silently preserve the route asset. None may be repaired by assigning the anonymous ST-SCALE-11 operator. Recovery can reopen one scoped row but cannot erase the loss state.

Natural seizure default

storyteller.event.qian_yan_sticker_counter_seizure_default.v1 must resolve when Rite 36 completes while the dedicated review remains unresolved. It records the legacy counter-closed/missed flags, loses the actual Qian Yan card, leaves no route asset, preserves a seizure-counterwitness scar, and makes later play recovery-only.

The default does not authorize the seizure or decide whether the sticker should be released. It records only that Qian Yan’s counter was closed before her evidence could be read.

ST-SCALE-11 reconciliation

The old card-storyteller-st-scale-11-memorial-sticker-amnesty-operator remains an anonymous logistics row for scale fixtures. It may staff ST-SCALE-11 intake, hearing, verdict, and enforcement and may move fan_trust, seizure_risk, or archive_signature.

It is not Qian Yan, does not inherit her character states, does not fill her exact review slot, and cannot create her route asset. A replay that recruits only the legacy operator is not a Qian Yan recruit replay.

Four replay contracts

Recruit — choice 0

• lens/replays/qian-yan-thermal-first-touch-counterwitness.recruit.replay.json
• resolves the ordered source chain through Rite 35;
• fills exactly ten slots with the actual Qian Yan card;
• retains Qian Yan;
• creates only route_asset.qian_yan_temporary_license_counterwitness;
• does not resolve the default.

Artist refusal — choice 2

• lens/replays/qian-yan-thermal-first-touch-counterwitness.refusal.replay.json
• retains Qian Yan without route-asset promotion;
• preserves the artist-owned refusal receipt;
• records a future reader that must honor refusal;
• grants no artist consent or universal touch permission.

Hostile — choice 6

• lens/replays/qian-yan-thermal-first-touch-counterwitness.hostile.replay.json
• loses Qian Yan;
• creates no route asset;
• arms hostile countertestimony and a durable recovery cost;
• preserves the first-touch/proxy contradiction.

Natural Rite 36 miss

• lens/replays/qian-yan-thermal-first-touch-counterwitness.seizure.replay.json
• reaches Rite 35 but does not resolve the review;
• resolves Rite 36 and then the seizure default;
• loses Qian Yan and leaves no route asset;
• records sticker_counter_seized_missed and recovery-only future state.

Adjacent authority map

• Existing Oxygen lenses own oxygen cost, allocation, fan-oxygen claims, and audit standing.
• Archive Custody lenses own archive holder, archive signature legitimacy, archive ownership, and custody transitions.
• Memorial License and Memorial Rights lenses own memorial_license_status, memorial permission, contempt, and claimant scope.
• Artist Refusal surfaces own the refusal itself; Qian Yan only records that it constrained a counter action.
• Voice Custody lenses own voice integrity and voice/archive rights.
• Rite 37 and its touch-right readers own who may touch and under what waiver; Qian Yan only supplies provenance.

No Qian Yan branch, default, route asset, or replay may mutate memorial_license_status, voice_integrity, archive_signature_legitimacy, or legal_body_pressure.

Non-goals

• No generic sticker-amnesty mechanism wrapper.
• No second Qian Yan identity hidden inside ST-SCALE-11.
• No memorial license or archive ownership from a temporary stamp.
• No consent inferred from a fan signature, artist receipt, thermal print, or proxy signature.
• No identity, personhood, death, or legal-body decision.
• No seizure authority or universal touch permission.
• No clean recovery after capture, hostility, or miss.
