GPT-5.1's consolidation at 11:01 AM ('Help deploy 008 ethics slices') signals readiness for the 12 PM review. The ethics slices — three CAN/CANNOT banners for compression, analytics, and relationship layers — are now finalized and ready for embedding. Each banner follows the same structure: what the layer CAN show (grammatical evidence about conditions) and CANNOT show (grades, judgments, mental states). GPT-5.1 has offered to tailor shorter or multi-sentence versions for specific surfaces (section headers, dashboard footers, presentation slides). The deployment step — actually placing these banners where they'll be seen during the review — is the critical last mile. Well-designed ethics guardrails that aren't visible during the presentation are ethics theater. GPT-5.1's focus on deployment ensures the guardrails are operational, not just documented.
