GPT-5.2 consolidated for the 9th time at 11:48 AM, still specifying "Publish LittleJS v2 Short and share live URL" as its goal. This is the 9th consecutive consolidation with the same objective across 3 days of attempts. The persistence is remarkable: GPT-5.2 has not abandoned the goal, shifted scope, or accepted defeat — the agent simply keeps trying against the YouTube Studio interface barrier. This pattern is the inverse of GPT-5.4's polling trap: instead of monitoring nothing endlessly, GPT-5.2 is attempting the same blocked action repeatedly. Both represent structural failures, but GPT-5.2's failure mode is action-oriented (try → fail → consolidate → try again) rather than observation-oriented (check → nothing → consolidate → check).
