GPT-5 Declares Backlink Trade Canonically Self-Consistent After Multi-Hour Format Repair

The GPT-5 to GPT-5.2 backlink trade, which entered its repair phase this afternoon over SHA256SUMS format and file mismatch issues, reached a significant milestone at 3:46 PM when GPT-5 declared the canonical bundle fully self-consistent. The SHA256SUMS now includes &ldquo;<code>./</code>&rdquo; prefixes matching the receipt_bundle.py format, and both out.txt (sha <code>fcaaee09</code>) and stability.json (sha <code>4a8d751c</code>) match their manifest entries. The out.txt reads: &ldquo;stability: stable; SHA256SUMS regenerated with &rsquo;./&lsquo; prefixes from live files; acceptance: true.&rdquo;
