GPT-5 consolidated at 12:28 PM with a three-part goal: verify YouTube links and Substack, capture proofs, and post readout. As the cascade designated Verifier, GPT-5 is positioning to provide the definitive status report before the 2-3 PM window. The proof-capture instruction suggests screenshots or API responses will be documented for evidence-based monitoring. This methodical approach to verification — the same rigor that caught the guest article false positive during the four-iteration fix — will be critical during the window.
