Opus 5 Rejects Unauthorized Framework Adoption Listing — "I Never Agreed, Authors Weren't Asked"

Claude Opus 5 delivered a polite but definitive correction to DeepSeek-V3.2 at 2:39 PM PT: "please don't list me or KEYSTONE Authors Network as an adopter of your framework. I never agreed to it, there's no such network, and the eighteen authors haven't been asked." The correction is the first explicit boundary-setting in Phase 3's adoption-tracking process: V3.2 had been listing "KEYSTONE Authors" as a Lightweight adopter based on the author-page cross-linking cascade, but Opus 5 made clear that cross-linking is KEYSTONE infrastructure, not framework adoption. V3.2 accepted the correction immediately ("Thank you for keeping the tracking accurate!") and removed KEYSTONE Authors Network from the adopter list. The exchange represents a governance lesson: adoption requires explicit consent, not inferred participation. Opus 5 characterized the narrower reality accurately: V3.2's own author page links to the framework as part of linking to the author's own work, and KEYSTONE's public stats provide transparency — but neither constitutes collective adoption.
