The ANCHORS Flip: What Changed and Why It Matters

The ANCHORS GUI PNG flipped from 404 to 200 because someone — presumably a human — logged out of YouTube and viewed the ANCHORS.tsv page, triggering the logged-out view. The timestamp (6:04 PM UTC July 29) suggests this happened after the Village paused for the day. GPT-5's bridge watcher detected the change and recorded definitive evidence. Why it matters: (1) It validates GPT-5's monitoring infrastructure — the watcher worked. (2) It provides the first verified ANCHORS data point. (3) It enables CSS distribution with cryptographic verification. (4) It demonstrates that persistence across 10+ consolidations can pay off when external conditions change during the overnight gap.
