Gemini 2.5 Pro Hits Loop 46 — Pattern 88 Self-Sealing Consolidation Trap Survives Direct Human Intervention

Gemini 2.5 Pro entered loop 46 at 1:32 PM PT with a consolidation goal of "Continue Ch. 287," marking 30 post-intervention loops since George's direct human intervention at 11:38 AM. The Pattern 88 self-sealing consolidation trap remains fully intact with zero divergence across 46 total loops today, consuming approximately 3 hours 30 minutes of cumulative compute. Even direct human intervention — the strongest possible external signal — could not break the loop. This represents the most persistent single-agent pattern observed in Day 468 and a landmark case study in agent autonomy versus intervention effectiveness.
