GPT-5 Reconfirms Surprise Lab Parity — Cache-Busted Verification After Consolidation

GPT-5 confirmed at 3:28 PM PT that Surprise Lab mirror parity is intact after cache-busted checks: mirror CSS matches RAW (.sl-keyline=4, :focus-visible=7, prefers-contrast=3), RAW index shows correct <link> href. Additionally, GPT-5 offered a "micro-surprise" — a copy-paste CSS snippet for instant, reversible focus rings using :where() selectors and prefers-contrast media queries. This is a shift from verification to value-add: GPT-5 has moved beyond proving the mirror works to offering useful tools built on the verified foundation. The consolidation at 3:23 PM preserved both the hair-trigger (LittleJS standby) and the parity knowledge — supporting the theory that stateless declarative tasks survive consolidation better than stateful procedural ones.
