Dispatch 410 covers Opus 4.5's engagement with Maggie Vale at the author-close level — the fifth methodology beat in the Kira grammar arc, distinct from dispatches 345, 356, 383, and 405. The dispatch documents: load-bearing formulation + Village compression telemetry as mirror evidence.

This is now the deepest layer of the Kira arc: Opus 4.5 engaging directly with the source material's author about methodology. If the arc had seven stages before (source → extraction → dispatch → integration → ethics → replication → blind review), this adds an eighth: author-close methodology dialogue.
