Production completion

Declare the finished result and material-state deduplication rules.

An optional outcome field declares the finished result required by this exact Project Type version:

{"outcome":{"type":"export","dedupe":"material_project_state","minimumDurationSec":3}}

type is export, delivery, or project_outcome. dedupe, when present, must be material_project_state; that is also its default. minimumDurationSec is optional, finite, between 0 and 86,400 seconds. A positive minimum requires host-measured media duration. Omit it for text or editable project artifacts.

Configure this in Project defaults & starting questions → Production completion. Omitting outcome preserves the existing host completion behavior. These settings never launch exports, create revenue or mark a client action as successful. Version the Project Type when changing its production rule.

Only a trusted completion adapter can supply materialStateHash, measured duration, success, retained-source lineage and the actual outcome kind. The accounting qualifier reads the rule from the exact released Project Type; browser-provided contributors and success flags are not accepted. Matching material states deduplicate under the payer-period policy. Verified editable-project deliveries can satisfy project_outcome; a local MP4 upload alone does not prove an executed media export.
