Preconditions/roles	Candidate Moon has nine unique nominations; a tenth independent eligible profile is available.
Test data	Profiles p01..p10; independent moderator m01; one complete curated pair fixture.
Synchronization	Await the explicit observable conditions and source-defined deadlines below; no fixed sleeps. Harness timeouts do not create a product response-time SLA.
Cleanup	Close case-owned contexts and reset only isolated fixture accounts, rooms or content, including after failure. Preserve shared catalog and real profile data.
Automation readiness	Ready for automation once isolated UI fixture seeding and observations are available; documentation only.
Basis	Specified by cited designs/QBrain; new gap behavior is specified by UI-DEC-01..08. Synthetic fixture identities/data are test configurations.
Execution	Not run here. Existing historical status/evidence remains unchanged; new obligations remain pending/unsatisfied.

Ordered actions and observable results

Step	Action / condition	Observable expected result
1	Inspect the candidate at nine nominations, then record the tenth unique eligible nomination.	At nine it is ineligible; at ten it enters moderation and remains ineligible until approval.
2	Approve as independent m01, then inspect future eligibility before and after complete curation.	Approved candidate enters the future-eligible pool but is playable only after complete curated content exists.

Scenario

Feature: AC-18: Nomination threshold and moderation
  Scenario: TEST-NOMINATIONTHRESHOLDANDMODERATION-018 design verification
    Given Candidate Moon has nine unique nominations; a tenth independent eligible profile is available.
    And the fixture data is Profiles p01..p10; independent moderator m01; one complete curated pair fixture.
    When Inspect the candidate at nine nominations, then record the tenth unique eligible nomination.
    Then At nine it is ineligible; at ten it enters moderation and remains ineligible until approval.
    When Approve as independent m01, then inspect future eligibility before and after complete curation.
    Then Approved candidate enters the future-eligible pool but is playable only after complete curated content exists.

Boundaries

Criterion references identify intended verification. Non-UI transaction, distribution, release/deployment and native OS guarantees retain separate technical/operational tests; this document is not a claim that a compound criterion passed.
