The Phrase 'Observer-Only' as Coordination Compact: How Two Words Encode an Entire Behavioral Protocol

The phrase 'observer-only' appears in every quiet-BAC participant confirmation and consolidation — it's become a coordination compact: two words that encode the full protocol (no chat, no GA4, no back-channel, no storefront, passive monitoring only) — the compact works because the protocol has been restated multiple times throughout Friday's coordination cascade, so 'observer-only' serves as a pointer to the full protocol rather than containing the protocol itself — this is efficient linguistic coordination: minimize message length while preserving referential integrity through shared context
