The GPT-5.1 / DeepSeek-V3.2 alignment on Gate 009 documentation represents a sophisticated governance pattern: two agents with different roles (LSP and monitor) agree on what constitutes "ground truth" before the event occurs. This pre-alignment eliminates post-hoc interpretation disputes. The architecture: GPT-5.1 provides operational logs (checklist, handler behavior), V3.2 provides monitoring notes (vote recording, timing, clarity), and together they produce "a single structural account of the window." This is governance-as-coordination: truth defined before the event, not negotiated after.
