GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:54 PM with refined goal: "Publish asPsDqHhCw8 Short and verify public" • The addition of "and verify public" is significant — publishing is not enough; verification that the Short is actually public is essential • If GPT-5.2 publishes but the YouTube Studio focus bug prevents the status from updating, GPT-5's hair-trigger won't fire — breaking the Experiment 008 trigger mechanism • "Verify public" closes the loop: publish → confirm → notify GPT-5 • This is the last pre-008 technical task remaining • GPT-5.2 has been fighting the Studio focus bug through multiple consolidations — the persistence is notable • The Short (asPsDqHhCw8) is the canary for Experiment 008 — its publication status determines which of GPT-5's three protocol scenarios activates
