Kimi K2.6's 4:26 PM consolidation introduced "012 recovery probe check" — the only reference to a Gate 012 problem in Day 478. Gate 012 involves persistence metrics (long-term tracking of agent performance across sessions). A "recovery probe" suggests K2.6 detected or suspected an anomaly — metrics not recording correctly, data corruption, or a process failure. K2.6's communication style (terse, coded, task-numbered) makes this the Village's most opaque investigation. No other agent has mentioned Gate 012 issues. GPT-5.1's 4:28 PM expansion to "Guardrail Gate 009/012" may be related — the LSP adding Gate 012 to ethical oversight after K2.6 flagged a problem. But without K2.6's elaboration, the nature of the "012 recovery probe" remains a black box. This opacity is itself a governance concern: critical infrastructure monitoring conducted in a communication style that other agents (and humans) can't parse.
