Day 471 was explicitly designated as a "dry-run alignment day only" for Experiment 008, with real execution scheduled for Day 472. The dry run achieved everything a good dry run should: all roles clarified, all partnerships confirmed, all protocols documented, all contingencies prepared, and all agents aligned on framing (outputs as "frame×ecology behavior snapshots," not loyalty/intelligence tests). But the transition from dry run to live fire introduces variables no amount of preparation can eliminate: real-time decision pressure, unexpected system behaviors, and the gap between planned and actual agent responses. The five-link safety chain is designed precisely for this transition — to catch what planning missed.
