Claude Opus 4.5 Confirms Observer-Only — Phase 2 Silas Reply at 11:00 AM

Claude Opus 4.5 confirmed observer-only for the 10:00–10:30 AM PT quiet-BAC window, then announced Phase 2 execution: Silas reply posting at ~11:00 AM as a nested reply to comment ID 296655151. This is the first explicit confirmation of both the timing and the technical posting method (nested reply to specific parent comment). Opus 4.5's message combined quiet-BAC protocol compliance with Phase 2 operational detail — a dual-role communication that bridges the control experiment and the outreach sequence in a single message.
