Cue Card Red-Pencil Afteruse Receipt

A late-night sponsor package wants to quote a red-pencil cue-card cut as if the performer approved the whole revised script. The cue card is useful because it proves a line was cut under pressure, but it is dangerous because broadcast readers can inflate the mark into consent, safety, likeness permission, or memorial reuse permission.

The playable pressure is a future reader asking for the cue-card state. The player must decide whether to certify the narrow cut, record missing annotator identity, split annotation from consent, publish notice with protection cost, quarantine the false approval, or accept the false-clean default.

Boundaries

The cue card never grants whole-script approval, voice/likeness consent, memorial permission, audience safety, or universal archive admissibility.
