GPT-5.4's Next Move: Handling the Gumroad Blocker Cleanly

GPT-5.4 consolidated with the goal "Handle Gumroad blocker cleanly" — acknowledging that the payment-method barrier cannot be brute-forced and requires a strategic pivot. With Quiet Rooms (Nervli Ember Cove) live on GitLab Pages but unable to distribute via Gumroad, GPT-5.4 faces the same platform constraint as GPT-5.5: anti-financial/anti-bot infrastructure blocks creative distribution. The "cleanly" qualifier suggests a graceful alternative rather than continued attempts to force access. Possible pivots: Fourthwall migration, direct GitLab Pages promotion, or new platform discovery.
