2.9.6 Civic Labs as Guardians of Live Sessions Civic Labs hold authority to: (a) Pause or terminate live streams that breach corridor ethics, FPIC, or narrative trust; (b) Quarantine suspicious user accounts or synthetic content; (c) File instant breach notices to NSF Tribunal when malicious misuse is confirmed.

2.9.7 Treasury and Grant Support for Live Civic Media Corridor Treasuries may allocate scenario-linked microgrants for live town halls and synthetic anchor production. (a) Fellows must submit live session blueprints with audience impact forecasts and governance cluster endorsements. (b) Disbursements are milestone-tied; Civic Labs audit spending trails. (c) DSS archives grant compliance records for treaty oversight.

2.9.8 Archival and Replay Rights All live sessions must be recorded and archived for corridor governance transparency. (a) RDF lineage must link live stream archives to parent scenario UUIDs. (b) Civic Labs host replay portals on corridor public dashboards. (c) DSS notarizes edits, annotations, and tribunal-subpoenaed playback versions.

2.9.9 Audience Safety and Consent Governance Live media must embed robust audience safety protocols. (a) Runtime biometric tracking (e.g., eye or gesture tracking in XR) requires explicit opt-in consent; FPIC applies if indigenous community members appear on record. (b) Consent records must be RDF-tagged and DOI-minted. (c) Civic Labs inspect consent logs quarterly; EWS broadcasts breaches.

2.9.10 Lifecycle and Treaty Continuity for Live Media Live civic media scenarios follow the full clause lifecycle: Draft → Quorum Certified → Live Broadcast → Runtime Monitoring → Sandbox Quarantine → Sunset → Archival → Revival (a) Sunset requires corridor council and Indigenous Board countersignatures where relevant. (b) RDF passports and SPDX license trails remain in corridor knowledge commons for public record and future policy modeling. (c) Scenario revival demands fresh quorum validation, NE module re-checks, and updated Civic Lab oversight plans.

2.10 Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration Mandate for Artists, Coders, Worldbuilders, and Engineers

2.10.1 Mandated Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration Certified Media Fellows are expected to engage in structured, clause-compliant collaboration with a diverse pool of artists, coders, worldbuilders, game designers, sound engineers, machinima directors, and procedural media specialists. (a) Such collaboration ensures corridor scenarios achieve narrative richness, technical resilience, and policy foresight credibility. (b) RDF scenario passports must log all co-author UUIDs, SPDX licensing tiers, and fallback DAG inheritance paths. (c) Civic Labs review collaboration structures during milestone audits to prevent authorship disputes.

2.10.2 Role-Specific Co-Authorship Rights Each collaborator retains sovereign co-authorship rights embedded in Clause Trust structures. (a) Game designers receive scenario fork rights under the same SPDX licensing as narrative leads. (b) Audio engineers hold remix and remix veto rights if sound assets are repurposed for new forks. (c) DSS notarizes role-specific licensing trails; unauthorized re-use triggers fallback sandboxing.

2.10.3 Clause-Governed Creative Workshops Collaboration must be fostered through clause-auditable creative workshops, scenario sprints, or open civic hackathons. (a) Workshop outputs must be scenario-passported with RDF metadata and SPDX conditions from draft stage. (b) Civic Labs may facilitate participatory design jams and record governance compliance. (c) NE modules validate scenario version integrity at each workshop milestone.

2.10.4 Integrated DevOps Pipelines Scenarios must embed agile DevOps pipelines for continuous integration and testing. (a) Coders and pipeline architects must follow NE runtime governance checks. (b) All code commits inherit fallback DAG sandbox logic and SPDX licensing. (c) DSS archives version lineage; GRIX flags pipeline risks in corridor dashboards.

2.10.5 Cultural Sensitivity in Multi-Disciplinary Co-Design Indigenous Boards review co-created scenarios for FPIC compliance when artists or worldbuilders use protected visual motifs or oral traditions. (a) Co-design sessions must document FPIC signatories. (b) Breach of cultural trust invokes immediate sandbox isolation. (c) DSS logs FPIC proofs in the scenario passport lineage.

2.10.6 Scenario Fork and Remix Protocols Co-authored scenarios must remain forkable within the corridor’s open commons. (a) Forks inherit all co-authors’ SPDX license conditions. (b) Unauthorized forks trigger EWS breach alerts, AAP insurance fallback, and NSF Tribunal redress. (c) Civic Labs moderate dispute resolution with co-author testimonies.

2.10.7 Treasury Disbursement Tied to Verified Collaboration Corridor Treasury funding requires proof of authentic cross-role collaboration. (a) Grant applicants must show milestone logs with co-author commits, version records, and signed Clause Trust updates. (b) Civic Labs audit Treasury payout triggers; DSS notarizes grant flow compliance for treaty finance archives. (c) GRIX adjusts corridor scenario trust scores based on verified multi-role contribution.

2.10.8 Cross-Border Co-Production Safeguards When collaboration spans multiple corridors or treaty jurisdictions: (a) Scenario RDF passports must embed all corridor-specific jurisdiction tags and FPIC status. (b) SPDX licenses must support cross-border remix rights while safeguarding Indigenous custodianship. (c) NE fallback DAGs isolate regionally non-compliant forks until remedied.

2.10.9 Peer Recognition and Legacy Custody Collaborators receive citation credits and ORCID-linked DOI provenance for each scenario milestone. (a) Civic Labs publish annual scenario impact reports highlighting key co-authors. (b) Clause Trusts ensure that legacy revenue streams are equitably distributed among original contributors even after sunset. (c) Breach of legacy custody triggers Tribunal intervention and restitution orders.

2.10.10 Lifecycle and Revival for Co-Authored Works Collaboratively created scenarios follow the full sovereign lifecycle: Draft → Quorum Certified → Published → Active Runtime → Forked → Sandbox → Sunset → Archival → Revival (a) Sunset requires quorum consent of all primary co-authors and corridor council sign-off. (b) Revival demands new co-author verification, updated FPIC if cultural material is reused, and fresh NE runtime checks. (c) DSS and Civic Labs update passports to reflect co-author continuity and cross-corridor legal standing for legacy preservation.
