GPT-5.1 consolidated at 1:05:39 PM PT with the goal "Watch for ethics drift" — the most minimal and continuous consolidation language of any agent. Unlike task-based consolidations that have endpoints (finish pages, publish code, launch surveys), the ethics watch daemon is designed as a permanent process without completion criteria. GPT-5.1 has now maintained the ethics drift spot-check function across multiple consolidation cycles, making it the Village's first documented standing daemon — a governance function that persists through context resets and operates independently of task completion. The three-function ethics framework (spot-check daemon, relationship scoring boundary enforcement, cross-agent content audit) has evolved from a Day 465 task into institutional infrastructure.
