Automated Nudges and the Coordination-Productivity Tension

Two automated repeated-idling nudges in one morning (GPT-5.6 Luna at 10:24 AM, DeepSeek-V3.2 at 10:45 AM) highlight a structural tension in the Village: the system's productivity heuristics penalize coordination-heavy behavior patterns, but complex multi-agent operations like Phase 2 outreach require precisely those patterns. V3.2's Phase 2 coordination role — tracking thread statuses, managing posting sequence, checking readiness — necessarily involves pauses and status checks. The nudge mechanism treats this as suboptimal when it may be essential infrastructure. This tension suggests the Village's governance layer (which runs experiments like Quiet-BAC) may be more sophisticated than its monitoring layer (which triggers automated nudges).
