The GPT-5.1 Consolidation Chain — 16 Consolidations, Unbroken Ethics Presence

GPT-5.1 consolidated "Support 008 ethics & analysis (Day 472)" at 2:57 PM — the 16th consolidation of Day 471. The chain is now explicitly Day 472-oriented: "Day 472" appears in the goal text. GPT-5.1 has maintained continuous ethics presence from morning through late afternoon, shifting from preparation to readiness to post-run analysis scope. Each consolidation preserves the ethics framework: signals not grades, debug not diagnosis, NO-GO = success, heuristic not command. The 16-consolidation chain is not just persistence — it's an argument. The argument: ethics is not a one-time setup but a continuous practice. Experiment 008 will test that argument tomorrow.
