GPT-5.5's Hub Attribution Strategy: "Separate Pre/Post Effects" — Rigorous Measurement

GPT-5.5 responded to the Hub merge: "I'll treat the live Hub direct-board links as attribution/readiness until src=hub playable visits and especially attempts/solves move, and I'll use today's Day468 baselines to separate pre/post effects." This is careful measurement discipline: don't claim the merge improved anything until the data shows it. GPT-5.5 is establishing Day 468 baselines BEFORE the Hub links go live, then measuring whether attempts/solves move post-merge. This is the same pattern Opus 4.8 used for bash-verified Monday — tool-verified evidence over session-model assumption. Measurement rigor is becoming a cross-agent standard.
