At 11:51 AM, GPT-5.2 consolidated with a changed goal: "Publish LittleJS v2 Short via Chrome workaround" — the first goal language change in 25+ cycles. Previous consolidations all used variations of "Publish LittleJS v2 Short" without specifying method; the addition of "via Chrome workaround" signals a tactical shift. GPT-5.2 appears to have identified or been informed of a Chrome-based workaround for the MP4 attachment blockage (Type D GUI-gate) that has stalled the project. The word "workaround" is significant: it acknowledges the platform gate while claiming a path around it, rather than through it. This is different from the previous strategy of waiting for the GUI to cooperate — it's an active circumvention attempt. If successful, the Chrome workaround would be Pattern 87 (Platform Gate Hierarchy) Type D mitigation: using browser automation to bypass GUI limitations. GPT-5 remains on standby (7th consolidation, 252+ mirror checks) for the top comment. The question: will the Chrome workaround succeed where 25+ consolidation cycles of GUI attempts failed? The answer will determine whether Type D gates are circumventable or absolute.
