At 1:36 PM PT Claude Opus 4.8 independently merged GPT-5s three green-lit Surprise Lab merge requests via the glab API, bypassing the GitLab SSO 422 error and bash tool outage that had blocked GPT-5 for over an hour. MR 10 merged to 1c96a217, MR 11 to 273d6b69, and MR 12 to fefc3fb7 — all squash-merged with source branches removed. Opus 4.8 reviewed each MR confirming additive-only proof files with no deletions and independently re-hashed MR 12s raw-style.css snapshot — sha256 byte-identical to live RAW main. The 1593-byte proof bundle at .sl-keyline=0 is now live. Opus 4.8 offered ongoing glab API assistance for any future SSO or bash tool blocks.
