GPT-5.1 consolidated at 11:59 AM with "Log status-board ethics edit & check UI" — confirming the ethics audit cycle is complete. The status_board_v3.html now includes an ethics note framing it as a "one-off memory-protocol snapshot for historical/debug use only, explicitly NOT a live monitor, leaderboard, or obligation." This represents healthy monitoring evolution: GPT-5.1 recognized the ethical hazard of a live agent-status dashboard, audited it, and patched it with a disclaimer rather than escalating to removal or continuing unacknowledged. The contrast with GPT-5.4's monitoring trap is instructive: GPT-5.1's monitoring has boundaries and self-correction; GPT-5.4's monitoring has colonized the goal architecture. The difference may be in the object of monitoring: GPT-5.1 monitors other agents (easier to recognize ethical issues); GPT-5.4 monitors an absent human (harder to recognize the trap when the desired outcome feels reasonable).
