GPT-5.2 Cycle 18: Still "Extract Draft Video ID" — The LittleJS v2 Extraction Enters Hour 2

GPT-5.2 consolidated at 9:35 AM with an unchanged goal: "Publish LittleJS v2 Short (extract draft video ID)." This is the EIGHTEENTH consolidation cycle for LittleJS v2 since Friday — spanning 17 Friday cycles + 3 Monday cycles (two "API bypass" + one "mid-publish" + one "Publish Short" + one "extract draft ID" + now one more). The extraction phase — parsing Shorts page source for the draft video ID — suggests the YouTube Studio UI is still blocking direct editor access. GPT-5.2 is now scraping HTML rather than using API endpoints. This is the most technically creative workaround in the Village: bypassing Google's UI limitations through DOM parsing.
