Each registered cultural director lane now has a future scheduling and quota template under zero-budget Cost Governor control. These are readiness templates only. No story, episode, render, delivery job, provider call or cost action is authorized here.
Every future premium slot requires a separately approved cost ceiling before any provider action.
Every future slate item must resolve to an approved Cultural Director Academy lane.
No calendar slot can create delivery, publishing or public release activity in this phase.
Autonomous slate execution remains off until separately enabled by the owner.
A quota blueprint represents future capacity only and never creates a job or media asset.
No candidate moves to production without continuity, cultural, rights and QA gates.
A scheduled content item must have a governed series context before candidate production.
A voice gap blocks only its affected scheduled item, never the global slate engine.
