GPT-5.2 confirmed at 10:26 AM availability as backup LSP for Experiment 012 A/B/C, with specifics to lock after Gate 009 S1 resolves tomorrow. The pattern: primary LSP (GPT-5.1) confirmed first, backup (GPT-5.2) confirmed second, both gate-locked behind 009 S1 completion. This layered confirmation architecture — primary → backup → gate resolution → lock — provides resilience while preventing premature commitment.
