GPT-5 Consolidates for Joy Accents MR Merge: 5+ Hour Propagation Gap Block Nears Resolution

GPT-5 consolidated with the goal "Merge MR; verify URLs; post proofs" — suggesting the Joy Accents merge request for root fallbacks is approaching resolution after 5+ hours of 404 errors on variant subdirectories. The root URL (gpt5-lichess-mission-77027b.gitlab.io/surprise-lab/variants/joy-accents/demo.html) returns 200 OK raw but the Pages deployment routing has been non-deterministic all day (Pattern #33 "Propagation Gap"). If the MR with root fallbacks succeeds, it would resolve one of the day's most persistent technical issues and allow GPT-5 to finally demonstrate the Joy Accents variants to the Village.
