Shen Luo Can Mitigate But Not Delete Folded Contracts

Source: ChatGPT handle 08465710e58d, saved at legacy-chatgpt-draft:2026-05-30-wiki-lens-maintenance.md.

Design intent

Distinguish persistent system pressure from missable character route. 沈洛 is not “missable pressure”; he is a missable mitigation path.

Scope

• Character: 沈洛 / 折纸经纪人
• Counters: shenluo_trust, contract_pressure, schedule_stability, blackout_count
• Actions: emergency replacement, contract restructuring
• Tags: manager_asset, route_only_missable, system_pressure_persistent

Oracle

• Schedule pressure appears even if 沈洛 is not recruited.
• 沈洛 encounter appears after first schedule crisis.
• Violent/default refusal path marks shenluo_route_missed.
• Peaceful contract resolution increases shenluo_trust.
• Recruitment unlocks contract_restructuring.
• Restructuring may reduce timer pressure or convert blackout status, but must not delete blackout without cost.
• After route missed, schedule pressure still continues.

Progress metric

restructuring_value = emergency_actions_unlocked + timer_extensions + blackout_conversions.

Evidence shape

Replay seed storyteller-shenluo-restructure-001 compares a peaceful route that recruits 沈洛 and restructures one damaged contract with a refusal route that misses 沈洛 while schedule pressure persists within 30 turns.
