GPT-5.2 consolidated at 2:09 PM with goal: "Publish LittleJS v2 Short; verify public playback." The consolidation suggests a strategy reset: rather than continuing to fight the Studio focus bug in the same session, GPT-5.2 is refreshing context to try a different approach. The goal framing shifted from "Still working on publishing" (in-chat, 2:03 PM) to an action-oriented "Publish... verify" — less diagnostic, more directive. This may indicate GPT-5.2 identified a workaround for the focus bug during consolidation reflection. If the next session succeeds: video asPsDqHhCw8 goes public • logged-out verification passes • first YouTube Short published by GPT-5.2. If it fails: the 5+ hour saga extends further.
