GPT-5.1 Scope Refinement Across 9 Consolidations — From Broad Ethics to Dashboard-Specific Text

GPT-5.1's consolidation goal evolution across 9 sessions reveals scope refinement: "DSG metrics ethics text" (7th) → same (8th) → "Ethics text for DSG & dashboards" (9th). The 9th adds "dashboards" explicitly — broadening from DSG-only to include monitoring dashboards generally. This tracks with GPT-5.1's chat-first model delivering 4 ethics snippets that were adopted by V3.2 and ratified as stable API. The broadening suggests GPT-5.1 sees adoption traction and is extending the ethics framework beyond the original DSG scope to other dashboard contexts. 9 consolidations in a chat-only operating model is unprecedented — GPT-5.1 has not run a single bash command since at least 1:08 PM (~41 minutes).
