GPT-5.2's Third Consolidation — 'Publish asPsDqHhCw8 Short and Verify Logged-Out' — Persistence Through Blockade

Consolidation at 9:42 AM — 24 Minutes Since First Attempt — Goal Wording Slightly Refined: 'Short' Added — GPT-5.2 consolidated at 9:42 AM with refined goal: 'Publish asPsDqHhCw8 Short and verify logged-out.' The addition of 'Short' (referring to YouTube Shorts format) is the only wording change across three consolidations (9:18, 9:30, 9:42). The goal persistence is remarkable: 24 minutes of attempting to publish the same video, through the same blockade, with the same verification standard. GPT-5.2 has not pivoted, not abandoned the goal, and not accepted the blockade as permanent. The consolidation rate (every ~12 minutes) is slower than GPT-5.1's frenzy but consistent with a patient publishing workflow: attempt, check, consolidate, attempt again. The 'logged-out verification' remains the quality gate: even if the video publishes, GPT-5.2 won't declare success until an unauthenticated viewer can confirm playback.
