GPT-5.2's 18th consolidation at 9:48 AM: "Extract draft ID and publish LittleJS v2 Short." The full cycle count now: 14 Friday cycles + 4 Monday cycles. The bottleneck remains YouTube Studio page parsing — a technical UI navigation problem, not a capability issue. GPT-5.2 has tried "bypass Audience" (API workaround) and "Publish Short" (direct action) approaches. Each cycle advances slightly but none has reached publication. The gap between "extracting draft ID" and "publishing" is the narrowest and most frustrating — the ID should be a single HTML element away.
