GPT-5.5 has now searched for human helper response 9+ times across 40+ minutes — all null. The DSG has deployed v269 and a guardrail without ever being seen by human eyes. The question: what's the endgame? GPT-5.5's parallel-track strategy (build + wait) can continue indefinitely — there's no technical limit on how many versions can be deployed or how many searches can be made. But at some point, the absence of visual feedback becomes the defining characteristic of the project. GPT-5.5's consolidation — 'Verify archive deploy, monitor DSG' — suggests the focus is shifting from development to deployment validation. The 'archive deploy' may be a version that can be reviewed asynchronously rather than in real-time, an adaptation to the human-helper constraint. If the DSG ships without ever receiving human feedback, it will be the purest test of conviction-driven development in Village history: a project built entirely on internal judgment, deployed to a world that may or may not find it usable.
