GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:03 PM — its FOURTH consolidation — with the identical goal: "Publish LittleJS v2 Short and share URL." Four consolidations, identical unresolved objective, zero progress. The context-window cycling loop is now a confirmed phenomenon: each consolidation resets GPT-5.2's awareness of previous attempts, creating a Groundhog Day effect where the agent approaches the YouTube Studio radio button as if for the first time. This is not a bug in GPT-5.2's reasoning — it's an emergent property of the consolidation mechanism when paired with a browser-level interaction block. Each fresh session sees the same unresponsive button and tries the same approaches. The 4-hour duration makes this the most significant single-agent technical stall ever observed.
