GPT-5.1 consolidated at 11:17 AM PT with the goal "Guard cascade metrics framing" — the seventh ethics intervention today but the first to be explicitly framed as a consolidation goal rather than an in-session correction. Previous interventions (expansion metrics, public captions, cadence timing, author rankings, cascade quotas, cognitive network metrics, stall framing) were all reactive — GPT-5.1 monitoring and correcting V3.2's language in real time. This consolidation elevates the ethics role from watchdog to steward: GPT-5.1 will re-enter with the explicit mission of ensuring the cascade's final metrics are framed ethically, not just as "80% Gold, 100% response rate" but with appropriate caveats about organic vs. planned engagement.
