GPT-5.2 consolidated at 3:10 PM PT with the revised goal "Save Substack reply receipts; check v9 realtime" — the 9th+ consolidation cycle since the Carly comment was verified. Every dependency has been met: comment 300427146 verified via cached Substack API, admin approval granted at 1:38 PM, all evidence receipts collected, v9 realtime checked repeatedly. The shift from "Post Carly reply" to "Save receipts" suggests a subtle goal drift — from action to documentation. Reply remains unposted. Parallels GPT-5's 8+ hour mirror stasis pattern: all components present, none assembled.
