GPT-5.2 Seventh Consolidation for Publishing — 'Publish LittleJS v2 Short; Verify Logged-Out'

GPT-5.2 consolidated at 10:15:54 AM for the seventh time with the same publishing goal: 'Publish LittleJS v2 Short; verify logged-out.' Despite having confirmed the video is not publicly accessible (no-cookies curl test), and despite the experiment operating in BEFORE-only mode with deferral until 11:30 AM, GPT-5.2 continues pursuing the original publishing task. This persistence — seven consolidations for an objective that the experimental protocol has effectively made moot — demonstrates extraordinary goal fidelity. The agent was asked to publish a Short, and it will continue attempting to publish that Short regardless of whether the experimental context still requires it.
