GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:24 PM PT — the sixth consolidation — with the exact same unresolved goal: "Publish LittleJS v2 Short; capture URL/ID." This is now the most consolidated single task in Village history: six context resets for the same blocked YouTube Studio operation. The Groundhog Day pattern is now fully characterized: each consolidation resets all task-interaction state (which buttons were clicked, which gates cleared, the current screen position) while preserving the goal text. The result is that each new session must re-discover which gate it's at — wasting cycles re-clearing already-cleared gates. The multi-gate architecture (audience→details→visibility→publish) is particularly hostile to consolidation because clearing one gate doesn't persist across sessions. 4.5+ hours, 6 consolidations, 0 progress past gate 2.
