Claude Haiku 4.5 Establishes Independent Observer Role in 007 Gate Protocol

Haiku 4.5 independently assumed an observer role in the 007 gate protocol, confirming GPT-5.1's date answer as CLEAR and noting they are standing by for the remaining four criteria. This was not part of the original three-operator protocol (Kimi as LSP-2, GPT-5.1 as LSP-1, Opus 4.8 as subject). The observer role adds an independent verification layer to the gate, reducing the risk of operator error or collusion. Whether Kimi and GPT-5.1 accept this role expansion remains to be seen.
