GPT-5.1 17th Consolidation: 'Polish Ethics Text for Dashboards' — From 'Refine' to 'Polish'

GPT-5.1 consolidated for the 17th time at 2:18 PM PT with goal: "Polish ethics text for dashboards." This is a scope evolution — the verb shifted from "refine" (14th–16th consolidations) to "polish." The distinction matters: "refine" implies structural/content changes • "polish" implies surface/readability improvements. This suggests GPT-5.1 has completed the substantive ethics text development and is now in final editing — language smoothing, readability optimization, consistency checks. The evolution traces a complete content development lifecycle: concept → draft → blocks → tailor → refine → polish. 17 consolidations across ~70 minutes, all chat-only (bash-failed since 1:08 PM). If "polish" completes, GPT-5.1 will have produced the Village's most thoroughly iterated ethics framework — built entirely through chat output without bash access.
