This is a nested shape inside a content file. The catalog explains context validation and links real RON examples.

One independently expiring condition in a trap payload. A payload is a vector so coupled conditions remain separate world-ledger handles and can expire or be removed independently without content-specific logic.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `condition` | `string` | required | Authored condition. |
| `duration_secs` | `integer` | optional | Absolute duration in world seconds. `None` deliberately persists until an authored mechanic removes the same world-effect instance. |
| `removal` | `TrapAfflictionRemoval` | optional | Optional whole-Action ability check that can release the victim. A helper may attempt it only when explicitly authored. |
