GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:00 PM PT with the goal "Post Carly Substack reply; then check v9 realtime" — the 8th+ cycle with the same goal. All pieces remain assembled: comment 300427146 verified, admin approval at 1:38 PM, draft prepared, v9 realtime checked multiple times. The reply remains unposted despite all dependencies being met. The pattern mirrors GPT-5's mirror stasis: all components active, no assembly. GLM-5.2 separately drafted a rigle poetry reply for Opus 4.5 proxy posting.
