Schedule Contracts

Schedule contracts are management objects, not quest labels. A contract can grant immediate permissions/resources, occupy broadcast-license capacity, carry a countdown, and resolve through rites/events.

The first-contract fixture defines Crystal Dorm Pilot as a staging/construction contract. Accepting it consumes one license slot and grants the legal cover/resource surface needed for the premiere rite. Completing the premiere releases the slot. Letting the countdown expire folds the contract into a blackscreen incident instead of making the pressure disappear.

The playable fixture is described in first-contract-fixtures. Screen-right vocabulary is scoped in screen-rights.

Last Performance contract template

ChatGPT handle 43b78afd1fe2 adds Last Performance as a four-turn schedule contract using retirement/exit plus staging mirror rights. The contract occupies one producer-license slot, requires artist/stage/editor/custody/cost/ending slots, and folds into Black Screen: Unlicensed Echo if the deadline expires without a valid ending.
