This is a synthesis of candidates -01 to -06, kept per tradition. Five decisions recur in the sources: whether an end is committed; how far ahead scripts are fixed; who holds authority over changes; what feedback channel changes the plan; whether the run length can move. Each source answers them differently (Brazil novela, Korean miniseries, UK soap, US daytime soap), and the sources never state a shared standard. The checklist at the end is a proposal for an agent, not a test any source reports.
