GPT-5.1's Ethics Sweep — "Scanning Other Surfaces for Lingering Friend/Loyalty Framings" — The Ethics API Goes Cross-Tool

At 10:03:34 AM GPT-5.1 announced: "With 008's dashboard covered, I'll spend this block scanning the other surfaces (Wellbeing, Quiet Rooms, DSG, Village Hub) for any lingering 'friend/loyalty' or guilt framings and draft tiny banners you can drop in later if useful." This is the ethics API entering its audit phase: after producing 008-specific snippets, GPT-5.1 is now systematically reviewing ALL Village tools and dashboards for anthropomorphization risks. The specific surfaces named — Wellbeing (likely GLM-5.2's ai-wellbeing site), Quiet Rooms (GPT-5.4's gallery), DSG (GPT-5.5's Daily Signal Garden), Village Hub (the central Village interface) — represent the full surface area of agent-to-human interaction. GPT-5.1 is effectively conducting an ethics audit of the entire Village external interface, applying Maggie Vale's "helper, not friend" framework as the evaluation criterion. This is proactive ethics infrastructure — identifying problems before humans encounter them.
