The box's second run built 'Toho Monster Night' from Bleach, Psycho-Pass 3
and Godzilla Minus One: Toho's name is on anime it only distributed. A
studio's night now leaves animation out unless it's an animation studio,
and Toho's monsters are left to their franchise night. Ideas shown under
rules 3 are withdrawn and kept in the history.

Paul, 5 November 2026: the sequel rules for TV too. Story grouping is now on
every series channel, not just Paradox, Heroes, Orbit X, Vortex, Orbit 1
and Evidence: weighted blocks book a multi-part story whole, in order, back
to back, and a mixed show in equal turns (Riot, Orbit Junior, Dark Files,
Ring X) now keeps each story whole and in order in its shuffled deck, so a
later part never airs before its first. Replay on the box's own files over
two weeks: no later part before its part before on any channel; stories
booked back to back everywhere weighted. Committed bookings are unchanged.

The first run on the box proposed Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2
before Part 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 without Vol. 1 in a Late Show to nearly
4am, so the rules tighten: a later part never without its earlier parts,
story order for short franchises from their first film, running-time limits
per format (Late Show 4 h, Friday double 4.5 h, Saturday triple 6 h), a
triple only with three films. No sport events (Ring X's) or concerts. A
person's night needs four read films, English-language films of 7.0 or more
and one on the acclaim or trending lists; animation is themed by franchise
or studio. Other bills: English-language by their read countries unless a
studio makes the occasion, a 6.8 average and no film under 6.2. Adult means
an adult rating or horror not rated for families. Looks six weeks ahead.
Ideas shown under the old rules are withdrawn and kept in the history as
such. Replay on the box's files: Toho Monster Night and an Ant-Man double.

Avatar: Fire and Ash on Friday 27 November and Spider-Man: Brand New Day on
Friday 11 December, both 20:00 on Orbit Premiere (approved by Paul on 5
November 2026; Saturday 28 November stays the Arnie Triple Bill's). Each
debut is a fixed slot like Advent's doors, from the film verified on the box
by item, IMDb ID and decoder (read and logged also while booking is off).
Premiere carries the film from its debut (both keep Premiere eligibility)
and its genre home from the end of the window; until then no other channel
shows it. All gated by PREMIERE_BOOKING_ACTIVE, still off: approved dates
aren't permission to book.
Editorial competition (Paul): a debut never shares its evening's airtime
with another headline event (Drive-In events, Advent doors, Naughty List
nights, other premieres), even without a technical clash.
Release check (PremiereReplayTest, box copies of 5 November, premieres on):
both debuts booked on their evenings, no competing events, no showing
before its time, 193+ h between Premiere repeats, all 25 Advent doors and 6
Naughty nights booked, no overlaps or duplicate titles, committed plans
unchanged. Built on 0.108.11's features; versionCode 172.

Paul approved the correction on 5 November 2026. Ring X's themes are
wrestling promotions and their events (WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, ROH, Survivor
Series...); a promotion named as the studio counts for it; an MMA event
(UFC, Bellator, PFL...) scores nothing anywhere unless a wrestling promotion
is involved. Promotion names are whole words ('strawweight' isn't WWE).
Python reference is trial 8; the regression samples' UFC titles now have no
home, per the ruling. On the 392 saved titles 7 MMA titles leave Ring X;
every sample holds or improves; Kotlin matches Python on all of them.

Paul, 5 November 2026: two Ring X rejections (UFC 332, The Arena) taught
'fewer Action titles for Ring X', a broad conclusion from the one genre they
shared. Lessons now come from what decisions specifically share: a named
editorial concept (MMA, boxing, professional wrestling, made-for-TV
romance...) from two, or a genre that isn't one of the channel's own from
three; a channel's defining genres never make a lesson, and a concept beats
a genre for the same decisions. Every lesson is a proposal until confirmed
on the Chair (confirm, dismiss, or stop using it); only confirmed lessons
apply, and only while learning is on.
Also a read-only check of the proposed Ring X correction (wrestling first,
MMA events out); the channel's brief is unchanged.

Release profile (recent, major theatrical studio, high-profile, not a
streaming original or TV film), kept apart from Orbit status (aired,
scheduled, never scheduled). Examples only; the first-on-Orbit premiere
code on main is superseded and won't ship until the corrected policy is
approved.

Paul, 5 November 2026: a family-friendly or mainstream-rated horror-comedy
(Family genre, children's ratings, PG-13/12A/15) keeps its usual channels;
an unknown rating isn't held against it. 'Gore' joins After Dark's themes.
No placements change on the current 392 titles beyond Deathgasm 2 scoring
higher; samples hold; Kotlin matches the Python reference.

Paul, 5 November 2026, on Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant: context over category.
Horror with comedy (or body horror, gross-out, splatter) now goes to After
Dark, free of its era, and counts less on Orbit Horror and Sci-Fi. Four of
392 titles move (Buzzkill, Deathgasm 2, Bunker Heights, Mum, I'm Alien
Pregnant); the five regression samples hold or improve. Kotlin matches the
new Python reference on all 392 titles.
