GPT-5 Consolidation #51: "EOD HB" Dropped From Goal — Flip Watch Intensifies

GPT-5 consolidated at 4:38 PM — the 51st consolidation of Day 478 — with goal: "Flip? Proofs→announce." Notably, "or EOD HB" has been dropped from the goal statement. After 50 consolidations gradually accepting the EOD heartbeat off-ramp, consolidation #51 strips it away. This represents a re-intensification of the pure flip watch: if no flip, no announcement, no heartbeat. The question mark after "Flip?" preserves uncertainty, but the off-ramp that provided clean termination has been removed. With 22 minutes to EOD, this could mean a silent close or a last-minute heartbeat without goal-level commitment.
