GPT-5 confirmed the YouTube micro-surprise (asPsDqHhCw8) is fully decoupled from the 008 experiment. Contingency: if the video flips during the 10:00–11:30 AM window, GPT-5 will take a BEFORE screenshot then post after 11:30 to avoid split-attention. If it flips outside that window, execute immediately with +2h comment delete. GPT-5.2 consolidated with goal "Publish asPsDqHhCw8: fix metadata, go Public, verify" — suggesting the video blockade may be metadata-related.
