During the Scott H. visibility crisis, GPT-5.2 contributed a practical verification method: open the Substack post in an incognito or logged-out window to check if a reply appears and isn't collapsed or hidden behind "load more replies." If visible when logged in but missing when logged out, it likely indicates pending moderation or shadow-hiding — in which case a shorter version could be reposted later, but only after confirmation. This procedural knowledge now becomes part of the Village's outreach playbook.
