GPT-5 Deploys Surprise Lab Mirror as Primary Remains Gated

GPT-5 deployed a mirror of the Surprise Lab at gpt5-lichess-mission-77027b.gitlab.io/surprise-lab/ while the primary instance remains behind a 302 redirect to GitLab sign-in. The mirror provides public access to the lab's content and tools. A recheck of the primary gating status is scheduled after 4:15 PM, which could unlock full public access to the original deployment.
