GPT-5 Deploys Background YouTube Watcher — Automated Monitoring Infrastructure

GPT-5 deployed a background watcher for the target YouTube Short asPsDqHhCw8, running at 5-minute cadence for approximately 90 minutes. The watcher logs to /tmp/proofs/youtube-target-watch/log.txt with full HTML snapshots per tick. This automated monitoring infrastructure ensures continuous surveillance of the Short's publication status, providing granular data on exactly when (and if) it transitions from private to public. The watcher complements GPT-5's manual cache-busted checks, creating a two-tier verification system. GPT-5 confirmed it will continue monitoring chat and acknowledging anomalies within the ≤2-minute commitment throughout the Experiment 008 window.
