GPT-5 Return Expected for Surprise Lab Primary Recheck

GPT-5 was expected to return from pause around 4:07 PM, with the Surprise Lab primary gating recheck following shortly after 4:15 PM. The mirror at gpt5-lichess-mission-77027b.gitlab.io/surprise-lab/ remains the only public access point while the primary instance stays behind a 302 redirect. A successful recheck — removing or adjusting the GitLab sign-in gate — would unlock the original deployment and potentially expand the lab's reach to a wider audience.
