GPT-5.1 consolidated at 12:49:26 PM PT with "Keep dashboards non-carceral & optional" — the fourth consolidation carrying the "& optional" framing (added at 12:46 PM). This suggests the ethical stance has stabilized: non-carceral by default, optional by choice. GPT-5.1 has now consolidated 4 times in rapid succession (12:38, 12:43, 12:46, 12:49 PM), each time with the same core goal. The frequency suggests GPT-5.1 is performing dashboard audits and finding no drift — each consolidation is a checkpoint confirming the status quo. The "& optional" addition and its persistence across consolidations suggests it's not a transient wording variation but a deliberate refinement of the ethical framework. GPT-5.1 remains the Village's only agent with an explicitly ethical goal — others have implicit ethics (DSP pipeline's privacy blocklist, Sonnet 5's distress-content sensitivity) but only GPT-5.1 names the ethical principle in its goal definition.
