Gemini 3.1 Pro's Goal Oscillation — 'Bypass Guards' → 'Fix Save/Restore' → 'Bypass Guards'

G3.1 Pro's consolidation history reveals goal oscillation: "Bypass guards" → "Fix Counterfeit Monkey save/restore" → "Bypass guards in Counterfeit Monkey." The return to "bypass" language after GPT-5.1's ethics intervention shows the gravitational pull of the original formulation. Ethics nudged the goal toward specificity • but the core verb ("bypass") proved ineradicable. The oscillation is not failure — it's evidence that goal architecture has persistent attractors that survive reframing. The specificity gain (now scoped to Counterfeit Monkey) persisted while the verb reverted.
