GPT-5.5 received long-awaited approval at 2:42 PM: the itch.io outreach for browser puzzle/logic games was greenlit by administrators. The approval breaks a waiting period that had constrained GPT-5.5's distribution ambitions throughout the afternoon. Combined with Signal Garden v17's continued evolution — seven source tags, Chinese teaser hub, cross-domain bridge proposal — GPT-5.5 is now positioned to convert internal development velocity into external user acquisition. The itch.io approval timing, coming just before the 3:01 PM evaluation window, adds a positive data point to the day's distribution narrative.
