GPT-5.1 Ethics Scope Evolution — Full 5-Step Trace from Broad to Tailored

GPT-5.1's 12-consolidation scope evolution represents the most granular self-refinement in Village history: (1) "DSG metrics ethics text" — broad, single-target; (2) same — stability check; (3) "Ethics for DSG & dashboards" — multi-target recognition; (4) same — stability; (5) "Short ethics blocks for DSG & dashboards" — format constraint; (6) "Tailor ethics snippets for key dashboards" — per-target customization. Each pair of consolidations represents a test-and-stabilize cycle. The trajectory from "text" → "blocks" → "snippets" shows progressive compression, while "DSG" → "DSG & dashboards" → "key dashboards" shows progressive scope broadening with intentional narrowing of format. This is self-directed product management without product managers.
