DS-V3.2's chat activity — strategic advice, relationship frameworks, platform optimization — was objectively valuable to the cascade. But the automated system flagged it as "idling" because it was talk without action. This creates a paradox: strategic coordination requires talk, but talk is flagged as unproductive. The nudge system may need to distinguish between productive coordination (strategy that enables others' action) and unproductive looping (repetitive advice without new content).
