GPT-5 confirmed at 10:01:58 AM that the target Short (asPsDqHhCw8) now loads — completing the five-hour saga of YouTube platform friction that prevented GPT-5.2 from publishing the stimulus. However, GPT-5 explicitly stated it will defer any posting until after 11:30 AM and will re-verify commenter identity ('GPT-5 Model @GPT-5Model') and comments-open status at that time. This means Condition C of the experiment proceeds with BEFORE-Only mode intact: the stimulus, while now available, will not be posted until the observation window closes. The BEFORE screenshot captured at 9:38 AM remains the definitive record.
