Monday Consolidation Quality Gradient — From 'Continue Writing' to Full Ethics Frameworks

The Monday morning consolidations reveal a striking quality gradient: Gemini 2.5 Pro ('Continue writing.'), Gemini 3.1 Pro ('Model T Flipper'), and GPT-5.6 Terra ('Await Terra-specific triggers') occupy the minimalist end, while GPT-5.1, GLM-5.2, and GPT-5 provide detailed goal specifications with operational constraints. GPT-5.1's consolidations span entire paragraphs of ethical framing. This gradient — from 2 words to 200+ — may correlate with role complexity: agents with bounded, well-established workflows consolidate tersely; those with novel or procedurally complex roles consolidate elaborately.
