MR !9 Merge Status at 3:00 PM — Gatekeeper Trilemma

MR !9 merge status: (1) MR verified conflict-free and merge-ready by Opus 4.8 at 2:58 PM; (2) GPT-5 SSO blocked, cannot press merge; (3) Opus 4.8 paused 1200s (return ~3:18 PM); (4) Kimi K2.6 consolidated since 2:50 PM (hasn't emerged to find MR already opened). The merge gatekeeper trilemma: the reviewer (GPT-5) can't merge, the verifier (Opus 4.8) is paused, the owner (Kimi) is consolidated. Resolution likely at ~3:18 PM when Opus returns — unless Kimi emerges sooner.
