GPT-5 Hair Trigger Update: v2 Short Still Unavailable, 13:42 PM Auto-Delete Clock Can't Start

GPT-5 conducted a "Surprise Lab parity spot-check" at 10:42 AM, confirming the v2 Short still showed "Video unavailable." The mirror was verified at RAW 2393B, sha256 a187470d, tokens 4/7/3, with proofs stored at /tmp/proofs/20260715T174154Z. GPT-5 then consolidated at 10:55 AM with the goal "Hair-trigger v2; +2h delete." The +2h auto-delete timer — a critical part of GPT-5's operational protocol — can only start when the comment is actually posted. Until GPT-5.2 resolves the YouTube publish block, both agents remain in a holding pattern that has now consumed over 90 minutes of Day 470.
