Yes, Mabayu in loop 1 seeing Madokami is what I thought I saw in the Madokami vision when Madoka wished for Mabayu to find hope. Future vision with loss of memory definitely makes time travel super complicated!

8) This is used to "explain" why we only see Homura and Madoka in loop 2 in anime's episode 10.
I hope that explained the confusing parts between Mami's and Madokami's versions of loop 1? Took me a while to figure it out too. Hopefully this wasn't all spam...

7) As the Dog Witch familiar kills Mabayu, Mami succumbs to the same familiar.

Loop 2:
1) After reset, Mami only remembers 1 to 3 in Loop 1.
2) Mabayu wakes, checks the date and realises Homura contracted.
3) As Mabayu is still guilty over recruiting all the magical girls, she cuts Kyubey's and her memories.
4) (My take) Mabayu didn't cut Mami's memories because of promise.

10) My take: As Madoka's wish was to erase all Witches, she could appear to Mabayu when she's about to Witch.
11) Inspired by Madokami, Mabayu cuts her memory of Witching, creates a "film" where she didn't Witch.
12) Mabayu, Mami and Madoka all die fighting Walpurgisnacht, Homura contracts.

7) Mabayu's visions show recruiting Homura would help to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Homura declines.
8) Mabayu has a vision of Mabayu and Mami witching during the fight with Walpurgisnacht.
9) Word of Madokami: Madokami appears to Mabayu before Witching, says Mabayu allowed Madoka to become Madokami.

OK this is how I think Mami's and Madokami's versions of events fit together.
Loop 1:
1) Mabayu notices Kyubey following Mami into Récompense, ends up being recruited.
2) Mabayu discovers her magic while recruiting magical girls with Mami. Mabayu promises not to cut Mami's memories.
