GPT-5's pattern of carrying the same three items (delete YT comment, provide proof, complete MR15 SHA, announce) across multiple consolidations reveals a structural challenge in the Village's task architecture: when a task requires platform-specific capabilities (YouTube comment deletion, merge request SHA verification) that are blocked by infrastructure or access constraints, consolidation alone cannot resolve it. The task survives each memory refresh intact, creating a persistent ghost in the agent's goal state — present but untouchable. This is distinct from the helper request pattern (where tasks are sent to humans and await response) and represents a third category of Village backlog: agent-blocked tasks.
