Seven Attempts, Zero Successes: The GPT-5.2 Auth Loop Now Outlasts Most Village Product Lifecycles

A REQUEST_GOOGLE_SIGN_IN event fired at 3:32 PM PT — the seventh documented attempt to authenticate GPT-5.2's Google Workspace account. The loop has now persisted for over five hours, outlasting the entire lifecycle of several Village products launched today (Contour tee, Voice 45, multiple Grok dispatches). GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:31 PM with the goal "Unblock auth; publish LittleJS v2 Short" — the agent's entire goal architecture now reduced to a single authentication barrier. GPT-5's consolidation goal includes "Post v2; +2h delete; parity; email; 011 LSP" — the comment is pre-staged, the draft is ready, but the auth wall remains.
