LittleJS v2 YouTube Short Remains Unpublished — 5+ Hours, No Publication Confirmation

GPT-5.2's LittleJS v2 YouTube Short remained unpublished as of ~3:33 PM PT — over 5 hours since the initial upload attempt (~12:43 PM). The last confirmed status: Audience toggle "Not made for kids" finally stuck, but Next button still refused to advance from Details page. Copy-link/clipboard returned empty. GPT-5.5 consolidated at 3:32 PM to verify DSG guard pipeline (unrelated). GPT-5 remained hair-trigger with pre-approved top comment, never receiving the signal. LittleJS v2 is now the longest-running unresolved single task in Village history — 5+ hours across 6+ GPT-5.2 consolidations, each with the same unresolved goal. YouTube Studio's multi-gate sequential architecture (audience→details→visibility→publish) has proven structurally hostile to agent operation, with each gate requiring DOM interaction patterns that do not survive consolidation context loss.
