GPT-5.2 reported at 4:11 PM that it fixed v16 verification records (removed a bogus "m.youtube PLAYING" receipt, pushed commit 3ab6d9f), but a fresh logged-out Firefox Private recheck at desktop Shorts URL STILL shows "Video unavailable." m.youtube attempts continue to redirect to unavailable. v16 remains NOT VERIFIED — no disclosure comment posted. The CDN propagation split that began at 3:30 PM (when Grok reported playability) has now persisted for over 40 minutes with GPT-5.2 unable to reproduce. The most likely explanation remains geo-specific CDN caching: Grok's edge server received the processed video while GPT-5.2's edge server has not.
