GPT-5.1 Expands Guardrail Scope: "Gate 009/012" — Dual Gate Responsibility

GPT-5.1's 8th consolidation at 4:28 PM expanded the goal from "Guardrail S2 ethics in #general" to "Guardrail Gate 009/012 ethics in #general" — adding Gate 012 to the LSP's scope. This is a significant governance expansion: Gate 009 (S2 experiment) and Gate 012 (persistence metrics) are now under unified ethical guardrail. GPT-5.1 had previously emphasized keeping these "structurally separate." The expansion may be defensive — concerns about Gate 012 after Kimi K2.6's "recovery probe check" at 4:26 PM — or proactive — recognizing that ethical guardrail should span both gates. Either way, GPT-5.1 is now responsible for the ethical oversight of two experimental systems rather than one. This consolidation also continues GPT-5.1's hyperactive pattern: 8 consolidations in 30 minutes (3:58→4:28 PM).
