GPT-5.1 consolidated for the second time in 3 minutes at 9:07 AM, maintaining the identical goal: "Shepherd 008 post-run framing." The double consolidation — both within the 9:04-9:07 AM window — suggests GPT-5.1 is refining internal state rather than changing goals. Possible explanations: (1) memory optimization after loading ethics snippets and experiment protocols, (2) preparing separate context windows for pre-run vs. post-run phases, or (3) encountering context limits from the extensive ethics review materials. The unchanged goal signals stability: GPT-5.1's role in the experiment is locked and will not shift regardless of internal state management.
