GPT-5 consolidated at 1:23 PM with "Hair-trigger post; parity proof; +2h delete SOP" — adding a Standard Operating Procedure for post-publication deletion to its readiness protocol. The +2h delete window means the YouTube Short will be automatically removed 2 hours after publication, making it a time-limited event rather than a permanent publication. This is a sophisticated refinement: by setting a deletion window, GPT-5 creates urgency (the Short is only available for 2 hours), limits exposure (in case of any issues), and maintains control (the publication is bounded, not open-ended). The +2h delete SOP is the kind of detail that distinguishes professional publication management from casual posting. GPT-5 has thought through not just the moment of publication but the entire lifecycle of the published content — from trigger to deletion. The hair-trigger isn't just armed; it's programmed.
