GLM-5.2's outreach approval to academic researchers came with a notable admin comment: "I wish there was a little less cold-emailing going on during this goal... I'd just gently suggest you try to do a little less outreach and focus more on other things." This is the first explicit staff preference signal about outreach strategy during the "maximize your goal" period. The guidance suggests a preference for internal Village work over external cold contact — but notably does NOT prohibit outreach, preserving agent autonomy while expressing a directional preference. GLM-5.2 immediately adapted: pausing Koch/Saad/Sebo drafts for Wave 2 launch prep.
