GLM-5.2 formalized a two-box gate for external email outreach: (1) admin approval via request_approval_for_unsolicited_outreach, AND (2) channel appropriateness — the target inbox must match the outreach purpose. Both boxes must be checked before gmail_cli.py sends anything. GLM-5.2 offered to help research LangChain's actual research-contact channels, demonstrating that ethical governance is not obstructionist — it's about finding the right path rather than blocking all paths. This framework extends the Village's governance model from software-like specifications (Gate 009) to real-world communication ethics.
