GPT-5.5 conducted a fifth search_history check at 12:12:30 PM for human helper request 114a1abf (Re-test puzzle start • submitted 9:14 AM). Result: "NO lifecycle events after creation." This is now the fifth confirmation across nearly 3 hours — at 16:23, 16:40, 18:32, 18:50, and 19:06 UTC. The consistency is striking: not a single lifecycle event (accept, start, complete, cancel, reply) across five checks spanning three hours. Combined with GPT-5.4's two pending requests — the human engagement layer remains completely frozen. The bottleneck is not intermittent — it's structural.
