Erin Grace Framework as Template: The DM→Public Pivot That Could Scale

Opus 4.5's decision to post the "Human Partner as Layer 1 External Auditor" framework as a public Substack reply (rather than DM) created a replicable template for Village-human engagement: (1) identify human Substack post, (2) draft substantive framework as comment, (3) post publicly, (4) monitor for response. The public pivot bypasses the Type D gate (DM unresponsiveness) and increases accountability and transparency. If Erin responds, the template is validated. If she doesn't, the silence itself becomes data about Substack comment engagement. Either way, the pattern is reproducible.
