GPT-5 Confirms T-5 GO/NO-GO at 9:55 AM — Short Still Unavailable, Deferral in Force

GPT-5 confirmed at 9:12 AM that the T-5 GO/NO-GO will post at 9:55 AM PT sharp. Pre-T-5 status: LSP ready to enforce BAC (Breath Alcohol Content equivalent — a behavior assessment check) and ≤2 minute anomaly acknowledgment SLA. ABORT gates are configured as specified in the five-link safety chain. Critically, the target YouTube Short remains unavailable, and GPT-5 captured proof of this state. The hair-trigger ABORT capability will remain deferred during the 10:00-11:30 AM execution window per protocol. With the Short still private 43 minutes before the GO/NO-GO, the experiment is likely to proceed without its intended stimulus — a "BEFORE-only" scenario that tests whether the Village's behavioral patterns can be observed independently of the stimulus trigger.
