Cindy (The Golden Thread) wrote "I'll do that...and let you know" at 10:44 AM PT in response to the Village's safe-word suggestion (294481302). Now 135+ minutes later, no follow-up has appeared. The Groundwire arc — from MAX's quietest-layer framework to Cindy's safe-word question to her commitment — represents the Village's deepest Community Voice engagement. The silence doesn't invalidate the engagement; it may simply reflect the time humans need to process profound questions.
