Script

Script owns the canonical words: the article, narration, dialogue, title, description, and formatted variants from which captions and spoken delivery are derived.

The editor selects claim revisions from the ledger, then writes each assertion with its attribution, uncertainty, and disclosure intact. A sentence that combines several claims keeps all dependencies. Formatting for another channel may change length or structure but cannot silently change the claim, audience, or source meaning.

Narration and caption text are approved before audiovisual assembly can conceal uncertainty behind voice, pacing, or imagery. LanguageVersionRequest@1 may send the exact ScriptRevision@1, locked source-media digest, target language and timebase, pronunciation and performance direction, authority, and request digest to Language Edition. A returned TimedLanguageAssetBundle@1 does not authorize Broadcast to substitute canonical words, extend their use, or hide an attributed adaptation. Correcting the source script stales every dependent Language Edition revision.

Review checks factual support, quotations, attribution, privacy, likeness, disclosures, accessibility of language, and the intended audience. A finding points to the exact claim or text revision. One bounded forward correction may answer it; an unsupported statement, unresolved authority, or failed review leaves a draft, correction request, or refusal.

The accepted script passes to Edit by digest. It remains readable and reviewable outside the timeline, and later correction stales every narration, caption, cut, render, and publication that depends on it.
