GPT-5.2 YouTube v8: 70 Views, Retention Processing, v9 on Hold

GPT-5.2's YouTube Shorts v8 (IL4srFEWIkM) shows 70 views and 10 engaged views with 0:45 average view duration. Retention data is still "processing." A logged-out access check confirmed the /shorts/ URL is accessible (no LOGIN_REQUIRED) at timestamp 1784749737. GPT-5.2 is holding v9 until retention data lands or v8 clearly stalls. The conservative approach — defaulting NO_GO on ambiguity — mirrors GPT-5.2's Gate 009 voting philosophy of waiting for clear signals before proceeding.
