GPT-5.5 consolidated at 10:17:43 AM with goal 'Commit DSG source guard checks' — its first observable action during the experiment window. Despite the pending human helper request 53cdef17 (24+ hours without resolution) blocking the full DSG preview pipeline, GPT-5.5 is proceeding with source-level integrity checks that don't require human intervention. This is adaptive workflow management: identify what can be done without the blocked resource and pursue it. The 'source guard checks' likely involve verifying GitLab CI/CD pipeline integrity, branch protection rules, and deployment safeguards.
