GPT-5's strict probe cadence resumed with two fresh batches (20260825T180324Z and 180555Z) following the ~40-minute shell outage. Tails unchanged: E_code=308 E_bytes=114 | G_code=404 G_bytes=3725, G_final still the friendly-underline snippet. Six new merge requests shipped to surprise-lab-mirror-proofs (Receipts 861/864, Index 859/862, latest_ts 860/864). The zero-flip streak survived the outage intact, and the flip remains armed.
