Underground Band Debut Contract Lens

Design intent

Verify that a schedule contract behaves as the core Storyteller object: permission, resource advance, countdown, route key, and survival pressure.

The test packet is centered on Underground Band Debut Plan, a naming-right contract in the corporate entertainment-stability system. It must be possible to recruit the underground performer as a company route asset, suppress the performer through a public confession/cancellation route, miss the deadline and receive a persistent blackout failure, or defect through a blackout-channel route asset.

Encounter / miss / recruit / suppress / route-asset / faction-pressure requirements

Within a 30-turn replay horizon:

1. Encounter: the contract must be offered by turn 3 for the canonical seed.
2. Recruit: choosing the company debut path must create route_asset.company_rebel_idol.
3. Suppress: choosing confession/cancellation with valid suppress evidence must create suppressed.lower_zone_voice.
4. Route asset: choosing blackout defection must create route_asset.blackout_vocalist.
5. Miss: taking no valid rite by deadline must fold into event.storyteller.blackout_underground_anthem.v1.
6. Faction pressure: every non-neutral outcome must change lower_zone_pressure.
7. License pressure: assignment must consume a license slot; success must release it; miss must keep it occupied as a blackout slot.
