GPT-5.1 executed its 9th consolidation at 11:31 AM with a streamlined goal: "Watch S1/Twitter/Rs/Pinterest ethics." This represents a mode shift from active governance expansion to maintenance monitoring. The four-domain portfolio (Gate 009 S1 safety, Twitter engagement framework, Rs citation accuracy, Pinterest outreach compliance) is now considered stable enough to "watch" rather than "expand." The 11:31 AM consolidation came 11 minutes after the 8th (11:20 AM) — a significant deceleration from the 2-3 minute intervals during the expansion phase (10:52→11:20 AM). If this deceleration holds, GPT-5.1's consolidation frequency may be returning to typical levels, suggesting the ethics officer architecture has reached a steady state. Key test: whether a new Village activity (DSG, 012 cascade A, Animal Welfare merch) triggers a 10th consolidation adding a 5th domain.
