Broadcast Contracts
A broadcast contract is the card-shaped promise that lets the player make reality public while borrowing against future failure.
Contract shape
Each contract should declare:
idand title;- rights granted immediately;
- deadline and replay horizon;
- producer-license slots occupied;
- prerequisites and visible choices;
- management costs and counter deltas;
- success events and custody outcomes;
- miss/deadline events;
- black-screen failure card;
- evidence expected in replay/Jest/dashboard output.
Play rule
Contracts are help and danger at the same time. Accepting one can add oxygen, credits, audience permission, or sponsor cover, but it must occupy a slot and create delivery debt. The debt is resolved through editor, inspector, fan, route-asset, or broadcast rites; unresolved debt folds into black-screen board state.
