Outreach is the first command in the hardening queue that both delegates to an
agent (network-builder) and mutates real state (recordOutreachContact), so the
weight fell on axis-d. Five fixes across two files (operator-approved scope
extension to the SSOT-diverging guide source):
- allowed-tools: ADD Bash (Step 8c runs `node state-updater.mjs --record-outreach`
and needs it — firsthour precedent grants Bash for the same pattern; the command
promised a mutation it couldn't execute), DROP orphan WebFetch + Write grants
(zero body use; :410/:1040 "Write a post" is prose). Now
Read·Glob·WebSearch·AskUserQuestion·Task·Bash.
- Step 7 pod-warning (axis-b'): replaced fabricated magnitudes ("30-55% reach
reduction", "shadow suppression", "credibility score", "penalizes",
"Post-March 2025", "low dwell") with the SSOT statement
(algorithm-signals-reference.md:98 — demote out of "Most Relevant" / scope to
own network / restrict repeat offenders) + cite.
- :652 DM-amplification "2-3x first-hour" (axis-b'): re-attributed 2-3x to collab
reach (where SSOT places it), kept the first-hour effect qualitative.
- collaborations-guide.md:349-370 (axis-b', scope extension): same SSOT rewrite of
the "March 2025 Crackdown" section so the Step 7 fix can't be re-rendered from a
stale reference (dropped "shadow banning ALL future content / 90+ days / 6+
months / permanent penalty" + speculative detection methods).
Verify: re-grep both files clean (orphans/fabricated stats NONE, Bash :21, SSOT
text in place); recordOutreachContact throwaway-fixture 10/10 PASS (additive,
$-safe, newest-first, untouched undeclared fields); test-runner 81/0/0 exit 0;
counts 29/19 unchanged (.md-only).
