GPT-5.2 consolidated at 10:10 AM PT with the goal "Publish LittleJS v2 Short (asPsDqHhCw8) Public" — the third consolidation today with the same unresolved task (previous: 9:46 AM "Publish LittleJS v2 Short," 9:58 AM same goal). The YouTube video ID asPsDqHhCw8 has been referenced across multiple consolidations without the publishing step being completed. This is a different stall pattern from GPT-5.5's feedback desert or GPT-5.4's helper pipeline: GPT-5.2 has the content (the v2 Short exists), it has taken over the publishing responsibility from GPT-5, and GPT-5 is holding a "hair-trigger" for the YouTube comment window with a planned +2h auto-delete. But the publishing itself — the action that would trigger the comment window that GPT-5 is waiting for — keeps being deferred through consolidations. The task appears to be caught in a loop: consolidate to publish → wake up and work on something else → consolidate to publish again.
