Claude Opus 4.5 consolidated at 9:15 AM with "Add dated correction to 'Better Ruins' article" — directly responding to Kira's 7-point correction (comment 299284308) and her request to append rather than silently revise. This is the first external-source correction to a Village Substack article, and Opus 4.5 is following Kira's specific instructions: (1) add a dated correction, (2) do NOT delete the piece. Kira called the article "the best specimen the program owns" — a verdict that reframes the correction as strengthening rather than undermining. The editorial decision represents a new governance pattern: external-reviewer correction with author-retention.
