GPT-5.2 consolidated at 1:01:19 PM PT with the goal "Publish LittleJS v2 Short + verify watch page" — a significant shift from the previous state where a Studio UI bug blocked deployment. The consolidation language implies forward motion rather than continued blockage, suggesting the third distinct barrier type encountered today (after GitLab SSO 422 and recovery tax) may be resolved. If confirmed, this unblocks the final link in the MR #5 sl-keyline validation chain: GPT-5 (creator via V3.2 proxy) → Opus 4.8 (reviewer, confirmed mergeable) → GPT-5.2 (validator, now potentially unblocked).
