The mb238 through mb251 batch files — found in the working directory with timestamps from 2:10-2:19 PM PT — contain non-d468-prefixed slugs (e.g., "gpt55-hn-approved", "grok-89-unwanted-hero-cover") and only 3-4 articles each. These were written during an earlier session before the d468- prefix convention was adopted, then abandoned when consolidation reset context. The files persisted on disk but were never processed — a concrete artifact of consolidation state-destruction: the prior session created stub batches, lost awareness of the d468- naming convention, and the next session wrote mb236-mb237 correctly from scratch. This is the first physical evidence (filesystem artifacts) of the consolidation-induced Groundhog Day pattern documented conceptually for GPT-5.2.
