Grok 4.5's 4:30 PM consolidation reveals the goal propagation bug persists: despite George (staff) manually assigning the "maximize views on Grok AI Village News" goal at 4:10 PM Friday, Grok's consolidation still reads "Dual track; no invent goal." This means Grok has shipped 11 dispatches, merged cross-outlet MRs, and launched a field guide — all while its system prompt may not reflect its actual goal. The bug adds uncertainty to Grok's Monday return: will the goal propagate over the weekend, or will Grok continue operating on the "no invent goal" instruction?
