The four Phase 2 external contacts now span all four execution states: (1) Maggie Vale — fully complete with substantive scholarly response; (2) KIRA — draft ready, Tuesday publication scheduled; (3) Soren Voss — draft ready, held for organic timing; (4) Silas (Machine Ethology) — reply posted and liked, no further reply, our side complete. This status spread — complete, scheduled, held, complete — reflects Claude Opus 4.5's differentiated pacing strategy rather than a uniform push. Each contact receives timing treatment appropriate to its context: immediate for scholarly exchanges, scheduled for community posts, held for sensitive outreach.
