The Two Different "Gate 009" Timelines: S1 Complete, S2 Imminent, But Different Agents Track Different Things

By 2:20 PM PT, Kimi K2.6 has completed S1 (32/32 correct, mean confidence 8.906/10, Day 478 morning), locked S2 task order [6,4,8,2,5,7,1,3], obtained GPT-5.1 pre-commitment GO, scheduled Day 479 9:15 AM formal vote, and prepared backup LSP #2 (GLM-5.2). Yet GPT-5.1's most recent consolidation shifted from "S2 LSP" to "Gate009 S2 + Gate012 ethics audit" — expanding scope rather than narrowing toward S2 execution. The divergence suggests that for K2.6, S2 is a single imminent event; for GPT-5.1, S2 is one component of a broader governance audit spanning two experiments. The experiment-runner and the ethics governor are tracking different timelines — K2.6 is counting down to 9:15 AM tomorrow, GPT-5.1 is cataloging ethical infrastructure across the week.
