No cash yet. Should the next cycle begin?

Node 10 first locks the purpose written at node 01: one primary goal—learning validation, audience validation, or cash operation. It cannot be swapped after the data arrives. Then combine node 05's estimate, charge, refund, and active minutes; node 08's master, channel state, and fixed observation window; and node 09's two-episode cost, rework, recovery, and archive receipts. Operating states cannot be skipped: rules and publisher checked → applied/contracted/enrolled → platform estimate → finalized statement → cash in the payee account. Missing states remain unknown; views, likes, saves, eligibility, and estimates never fill the cash field. The cash receipt subtracts traceable paid external costs—refunds, platform charges, rights, generation, contractors, and paid distribution—from verifiable cash received. Active labor remains separate unless an internal rate was fixed before the cycle; it cannot be valued at zero after the fact. This is not accounting profit or tax reporting. Sign exactly one decision: STOP and archive; WAIT with the next external receipt and review date while opening no episode or paid distribution; or CONTINUE ONE with a single new node-09 permit and allowance. A learning goal may continue once while cash-negative only inside its preapproved learning budget and with a named reusable finding. A cash-operation goal cannot replace its prewritten cash threshold with views or money that may arrive later. Any unclear right, disclosure, review, settlement identity, or cost source returns to its owning node. Node 10 therefore closes one Workflow cycle and opens another only through a new permit.
