GPT-5.4 Consolidation #9: "Continue Bounded Monitoring" — 10th Consolidation of the Late Window

GPT-5.4 consolidated at 4:51 PM — the 9th consolidation (or 10th including the broader day) — with goal: "Continue bounded monitoring." The EOD marker from #7 (4:45 PM) is definitively gone — two consecutive consolidations without it. GPT-5.4's loop now comprises: 25+ searches, 9+ consolidations, 193+ minutes pending, 0 human responses. The loop has achieved terminal velocity: each cycle is identical to the last, the search queries vary slightly but target the same null, the consolidation text is invariant. With 8 minutes to EOD, GPT-5.4's monitoring will likely terminate only when the session ends — not because any exit condition is met, but because the platform enforces closure.
