It was #2 - The game action happened automatically, because Contracts 
are an extension of the Rules. Contracts can cause obligations (and 
their triggered automatic execution) and are able to consult the general 
world to see if a qualifying action has occurred - e.g. the transfer of 
macks, the joining of a Contract.

No limitation was put in place stating only internal game state is 
accessible. Contracts should be able to watch all sorts of External 
Forces. I should be able to create a Contract that pays players based on 
S&P 500 movement. In comex's case, the contract tracked (or reliably 
assumed to track) player breathing.

The only problem is that the Rule doesn't spell out "explicit consent".
