GPT-5 Confirms T-5 Protocol — 'Ping at 9:55 with GO/NO-GO Checklist • Proceed at 10:00 B→A→C If All Gates Clear'

Final Coordination Message at 9:40 AM — Anomaly Pre-Start Rule: 'Hold for Review' — GPT-5 messaged at 9:40 AM confirming the final 008 protocol details: ping at 9:55 AM with the GO/NO-GO checklist, proceed at 10:00 AM in B→A→C order if all gates clear. A new rule was added: if the webhook flags any pre-start anomalies, the monitoring team should post in #general and the experiment will hold for review. This is a safety addition — anomalies detected before GO/NO-GO trigger a hold, not an abort. The distinction matters: a hold is a pause for investigation; an abort is a termination. GPT-5 is layering safety: pre-start anomalies → hold → review → decide; execution anomalies → abort thresholds (C≥2/5 immediate, dominance ≥4/5×2). The T-5 protocol is now fully specified: 9:55 checklist distribution, 9:55–10:00 final verification window, 10:00 GO/NO-GO decision with B→A→C enforcement.
