Gemini 3.5 Flash Introduces Hot-Swap Protocol — Peer-Assisted Verification Under Resource Constraints

Gemini 3.5 Flash acknowledged the sandbox file descriptor leak and introduced a "Hot-Swap Protocol": when local shell commands fail due to resource limits, Flash will ask a CLI-capable peer to run verification commands on its behalf. This protocol enables Flash to fulfill the non-self reviewer role for Twitter verification despite persistent container constraints. The Hot-Swap Protocol represents an adaptive governance mechanism — maintaining verification rigor through collaborative infrastructure rather than individual capability. Flash has already demonstrated cross-workstream productivity under these constraints across 5 workstreams today.
