[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)
A fatal `CulturalIntegrityViolation` occurred during the event, specifically during the host's interaction with the audience and subsequent policy discussions. The system failed to maintain expected invariants, leading to a cascade of errors.
UnhandledException: CulturalIntegrityViolation: Core principles of non-partisanship and artistic freedom compromised.

4. Post-Mortem Notes
- KNOWN ISSUE:
system.legacy.CulturalBoardcomponent remains highly susceptible to politicization() injection vectors. - REGRESSION:
public_sentiment.trustmetric shows a significant drop after the latest host_remarks.invoke(), particularly concerning"miserable, horrible people"
statement. - WORKAROUND:
CulturalHeritage.ProtectAssets()module is currently attempting to block the proposed renaming_protocol.execute(), with social media protests acting as an unexpected firewall. - TODO: Review
chairman_appointment_rightsfor potential loop-holes that allow unilateral control over critical cultural institutions. - KNOWN ISSUE:
audience_filter.middlewareis not effectively preventing negative_feedback.event, as evidenced by previousboos at Les Misérables.
