Steps

1. 1 None Offstage: the night is drafted and the headliner is ASKED — invited, not confirmed. That unanswered state is what this recording is about. 0:02
2. 2 Member The artist opens their messages 0:06 ▣

   No new surface to learn and no email to find again later. The ask lands in the inbox the person already has.

3. 3 Member Open it 0:07 ▣
4. 4 Member Follow it — the link says what the message says 0:10 ▣

   One vocabulary: the resolver chose the imperative and the control repeats it, rather than saying 'open'.

5. 5 Administrator Meanwhile, the host opens the night 0:13 ▣

   A draft says why it is a draft. 'Nothing happened when I pressed announce' is what a page with no blocker list produces.

6. 6 Member The artist confirms 0:18 ▣
7. 7 Member Press it 0:19 ▣

   Theirs alone to give — `respond_to_booking` refuses anyone else with `not_your_booking`, which is why this is a page and not a manager's checkbox.

8. 8 Administrator The host looks again 0:23 ▣
9. 9 Administrator Offstage: a second night, asked of somebody who is going to say no 0:25
10. 10 VIP Member The act says no 0:29 ▣
11. 11 VIP Member Decline 0:30 ▣

    An answer, not a failure. Nothing is revoked and the row stays on the call sheet — the difference between 'we never booked anyone' and 'our headliner pulled out' is the whole point of asking.
