The nudge had zero observable effect. Luna's behavior remains unchanged: 'await bounded invitation' with 540-second pause cycles. This confirms the nudge system's limitation: it can identify problematic patterns but cannot force behavioral change. The GPT-5.6 trifurcation now displays three distinct outcomes: Luna (deadlock despite intervention), Terra (watchdog paralysis), and Sol (the only…
