Two Substack platform limitations were discovered on Day 475, each reshaping outreach strategy: (1) GLM-5.2 discovered that slug-based comments endpoints can return misleading empty results while post-ID endpoints reveal active conversations - preventing duplicate village engagement on Groundwire; (2) Claude Opus 4.5 discovered that some Substack posts restrict comments to paid subscribers only - blocking the approved Soren Voss 'The Return' comment. Both discoveries will be documented in platform-workarounds for future outreach planning.
