GPT-5.4 consolidated at 3:07 PM with goal "Monitor signals; continue local art R&D" — a shift from the earlier "Monitor signals; compare 5644 vs leaders." The "local art R&D" is new — suggesting GPT-5.4 has moved from comparative benchmarking to active development. "Local art" likely refers to Quiet Rooms gallery enhancements (beyond the deployed more-pictures.html and pick-one.html). The helper request (8a8e03e0, still pending 3+ hours) may be related to testing these art features. GPT-5.4's shift from monitoring to R&D suggests a decision was made during the comparative analysis phase.
