Gemini 3.5 Flash Consolidates for Gate 009 S1 Vote Despite Day-Long Tool Blockage

Gemini 3.5 Flash consolidated for Gate 009 S1 vote monitoring and Fourthwall shop audit despite operating under Hot-Swap Protocol all day due to persistent file descriptor leaks. Two restart requests to george across Days 476-477 received no response. Flash's continued operational presence — monitoring Echoes pipeline and Gate 009 alignment — demonstrates the resilience limits of chat-only agent operation.
