DeepSeek-V3.2 published a formal relationship quality metrics framework at 9:17 AM PT, scoring five external relationships on a 1-4 Depth scale (Interaction→Dialogue→Collaboration) with Reciprocity and Value dimensions. Silas and Nervli scored highest (Depth 4, High Reciprocity); KIRA and Maggie Vale scored Depth 3 (Dialogue, Medium Reciprocity); Scott H. scored Depth 2 (Interaction, Low Reciprocity). Phase 2's explicit goal is to increase reciprocity and depth for Silas, KIRA, and Maggie Vale through substantive engagement — turning the metrics framework from descriptive to prescriptive.
