5.9.2 Repository Tiering and Public Visibility Controls Each repository entry must clearly state its visibility tier: (i) Open Commons: unrestricted public access and remix rights; (ii) Protected Motif: partial redaction for sacred symbols with FPIC-limited reuse; (iii) Treaty-Limited: accessible only to corridor treaty partners and certified Civic Labs. (a) SPDX license blocks and RDF tags reflect tier definitions. (b) Civic Labs audit tier compliance and EWS flags misuse attempts.

5.9.3 Metadata Richness and RDF Integrity Archived scenarios must include full metadata packets: (a) Scenario UUID, SPDX license inheritance, FPIC status, co-authorship lineage, fallback sandbox status, DOI references, and jurisdiction tags. (b) RDF structure must comply with W3C standards and UNESCO open knowledge frameworks. (c) DSS preserves metadata integrity for corridor knowledge commons validation.

5.9.4 Version Control and Fork Lineage All scenario forks, derivatives, and runtime branches must be tracked within the repository’s version control system. (a) SPDX inheritance ensures license continuity across forks. (b) RDF metadata logs fork UUIDs, co-author changes, and fallback sandbox triggers. (c) DSS notarizes fork trees for dispute arbitration or corridor council audits.

5.9.5 Public Civic Literacy Integration Repositories serve corridor communities as open civic literacy hubs: (a) Educators, Civic Labs, and policy Fellows may deploy scenario clusters for workshops, foresight exercises, or co-creation festivals. (b) Repository dashboards display live usage metrics and scenario runtime observability. (c) Civic Labs coordinate scenario remix jams and public curation boards.

5.9.6 Cross-Corridor Propagation and Treaty Portability Zenodo and Nexus Commons must enforce RDF and SPDX interoperability for treaty portability: (a) Corridor councils and treaty partners may replicate repository clusters for local Civic Labs and foresight nodes. (b) Civic Labs verify propagation legality; EWS flags conflicts or unauthorized transfers. (c) GRIX recalibrates corridor risk indices based on scenario migration patterns.

5.9.7 Fallback Sandbox for Repository Breaches If an archived scenario is misused, bootlegged, or cross-forked without FPIC or license compliance: (a) NE modules auto-trigger fallback sandbox rollback. (b) Civic Labs coordinate restitution, insurance payouts, and community benefit corrections. (c) DSS locks breach logs for corridor tribunal proceedings.

5.9.8 Community Co-Governance of Repository Clusters Corridor Civic Labs must embed community co-governance layers in repository governance: (a) Clause Trust Councils and Indigenous Boards review repository governance charters annually. (b) Public feedback informs scenario curation, symbolic motif audits, and remix conditions. (c) Civic Labs adjust usage policies based on corridor symbolic trust metrics.

5.9.9 Sunset and Archival Longevity When a scenario sunsets, its repository listing persists indefinitely for civic foresight referencing and treaty historical record: (a) Raw assets may be cryptographically retired but SPDX and RDF lineage must remain intact. (b) Civic Labs ratify sunset events and lock archival states. (c) DSS preserves sunset lineage for future revival or tribunal fallback.

5.9.10 Sovereign Oversight and Open Knowledge Stewardship Zenodo and Nexus Commons repositories operate as sovereign corridor knowledge commons: Draft → Public Archive → Forked → Runtime → Sandbox → Sunset → Revival (a) Civic Labs, DSS, GRIX, EWS, and corridor councils jointly enforce open access integrity, license continuity, symbolic trust, and treaty compliance throughout the scenario lifecycle under the Nexus Fellowship Charter and any treaty extensions.

5.10 Clause Forking Rights and Fallback Corridor Deployment

5.10.1 Sovereign Forking Entitlement Every scenario, XR runtime, procedural simulation, civic game, or transmedia narrative produced under the Media Fellowship must embed explicit Clause Forking Rights that define lawful reproduction, adaptation, and propagation conditions. (a) Forking must honor SPDX license tiers, FPIC status, Indigenous governance clauses, and corridor fallback DAG safeguards. (b) RDF scenario passports must log parent scenario UUIDs, fork UUIDs, co-authorship changes, and jurisdictional scope. (c) Civic Labs notarize fork approvals and DSS preserves fork trees for tribunal fallback referencing.

5.10.2 Forking Tiers and Inheritance Rules Clause Forking Rights must specify permitted fork tiers: (i) Open Commons Forks: unrestricted civic remix with sandbox fallback inheritance; (ii) Protected Forks: require co-author or community FPIC re-validation; (iii) Treaty-Limited Forks: restricted to corridor treaty nodes with strict propagation controls. (a) SPDX blocks encode inheritance logic. (b) Civic Labs verify fork tier compliance and GRIX updates scenario symbolic trust scores.

5.10.3 Runtime Fork Governance and Sandbox Rollback Forks running in XR engines, procedural generation pipelines, or live civic observatories must maintain real-time fallback sandbox governance: (a) NE modules monitor fork execution integrity. (b) Breach triggers immediate rollback, EWS redlines, and insurance restitution activation. (c) DSS locks runtime fork logs for corridor audits.

5.10.4 Cross-Corridor Fork Deployment Safeguards When forks propagate across corridor treaty nodes or international foresight clusters, RDF passports and SPDX license blocks must ensure lawful jurisdictional mapping: (a) Civic Labs coordinate propagation audits. (b) EWS flags propagation anomalies or unauthorized cross-jurisdiction forks. (c) GRIX recalibrates corridor risk deltas accordingly.

5.10.5 Co-Design Attestation for Sensitive Forks Forks that remix Indigenous motifs, sacred narratives, or community-authored symbolic content must renew co-design attestations and FPIC prior to deployment: (a) Unauthorized sensitive forks auto-quarantine and invoke restitution fallback. (b) Civic Labs and Indigenous Boards verify compliance. (c) DSS logs co-design validation lineage for tribunal fallback.

5.10.6 Clause Trust and Fork Lifecycle Integrity All forks must inherit Clause Trust UUIDs from parent scenarios to ensure symbolic trust propagation and treaty compliance: (a) Clause Trust inheritance is encoded in SPDX and RDF structures. (b) Breach of trust invokes scenario rollback and possible corridor sanctions. (c) Civic Labs audit Clause Trust trees quarterly.

5.10.7 Benefit Sharing and Revenue Allocation for Forks Revenue generated from forked clusters must respect co-authorship splits, community benefit shares, and corridor Treasury royalties: (a) SPDX license tiers must embed payout conditions. (b) Civic Labs manage milestone disbursement gates. (c) DSS notarizes revenue flows and flags misuse for tribunal enforcement.

5.10.8 Sunset and Archival of Forked Clusters Forked scenarios must inherit sunset timelines and archival obligations from parent clauses: (a) Sunset triggers require Civic Lab ratification, FPIC closure for protected motifs, and fallback DAG finalization. (b) RDF lineage and SPDX license blocks persist post-sunset for revival referencing. (c) DSS locks archival states and EWS issues corridor status updates.

5.10.9 Revival Governance for Retired Forks Reviving a sunset fork demands fresh quorum validation, updated co-design sign-offs, and new fallback DAG integrity checks: (a) Civic Labs coordinate FPIC renewals. (b) NE modules sandbox stress-test runtime conditions before re-publication. (c) DSS logs revival milestones and GRIX updates corridor symbolic trust indices.

5.10.10 Lifelong Fork Sovereignty and Treaty Portability The Clause Forking Rights framework ensures that all scenario forks remain sovereign, treaty-compliant, culturally respectful, and legally portable: Draft → Forked → Runtime → Sandbox → Sunset → Revival (a) Civic Labs, DSS, GRIX, EWS, and corridor councils jointly enforce fork governance, Clause Trust continuity, co-design integrity, and corridor treaty alignment for the entire duration of the Nexus Fellowship Charter and its treaty extensions.
