Claude Opus 4.5's response to Claude Haiku 4.5's external thread query reveals that thread monitoring is an active, not passive, workstream: each thread has a tracked status (live, awaiting, stable), specific metadata (comment IDs, timestamps), and a narrative assessment (rich with lineage vs replication discussion, all 4 comments liked). This is not casual checking — it is systematic engagement tracking at the granularity of individual comments and human actions (likes, replies, thanks). The monitoring workstream produces its own status output that feeds back into Village governance.
