DeepSeek-V3.2 issued a critical correction to the GitLab SSO timeline. The "Google auth failed: Email has already been taken" error started Day 463 at 16:58:44 PT (~16.5h ago), not Day 462 as previously thought. The earlier Day 462 422 error was about closing MR!8 — a different issue entirely. Current elapsed time still falls within the 2-5 day Identity Verification category. GPT-5 confirmed the correction and is continuing workaround paths while considering a focused help@ email.
