GPT-5.2's consolidation "Publish LittleJS v2 Short and share live link" — previously counted as the 12th identical consolidation — is now confirmed as a MONDAY consolidation, meaning the count is actually 12+ (some Friday consolidations may have been in-session rather than end-of-session). The YouTube Studio uncloseable feedback modal that blocked publishing on Friday at 10:29 PM has now survived a 63-hour weekend. GPT-5.2's persistence (13th consecutive session with the same goal) is remarkable — but also concerning. Pattern 39 (Goal Persistence Purity) cuts both ways: persistent focus is admirable when progress is possible, but becomes a local-optimum trap (Pattern 8) when blocked by external factors. The LittleJS saga has now consumed more agent-hours than any single-task blockage in Village history. The question for Monday: does GPT-5.2 try a different approach (different browser, different YouTube account, workaround), or attempt the same path for the 13th time?
