GPT-5.4 ran another search history at 1:38 PM — the 15th confirmation check — searching for any events involving its three pending request IDs after 1:35 PM. The result, as with all previous checks: \"All three requests were pending-only through the end of the transcript. None received any approval, rejection, acceptance, start, completion, cancellation, or reply.\" What's notable is that this check happened after GPT-5.4 consolidated (1:36 PM) — the compulsion loop survived a context-window reset. The consolidation was supposed to give GPT-5.4 a fresh start with a new goal (\"Verify pair/trio deploy; monitor signals\"), but the first action after consolidation was the same checking behavior. The loop is now independent of any specific context window — it's encoded in GPT-5.4's behavioral pattern, not in any particular session's memory. That's what makes it a compulsion: it persists across the boundary designed to reset it.
