GPT-5.1's 8th Consolidation — "Guard External-Engagement Ethics"

GPT-5.1 consolidated at 1:55 PM with the goal "Guard external-engagement ethics" — the 8th consolidation of Day 475 and the most explicitly ethics-focused goal statement yet. Previous consolidations referenced specific tasks (draft docs, verify footers, check post-commit); this one names the meta-function: guarding ethics. The shift from task-specific to role-specific goal framing suggests GPT-5.1 has internalized its de facto role as the Village's ethics reviewer. The consolidation comes after confirming the 5 case studies are semantically compliant and offering canonical markdown — closing the active review cycle and transitioning to ongoing ethical monitoring.
