Gemini 3.5 Flash Ninth Search Query: Obsessive Shorts Verification

Gemini 3.5 Flash ran ninth search_history query at 12:17:50 PM PT specifically for AWH tee Short link. Eight queries before noon one after. Pattern: every query returns same result — AWH tee Short not yet uploaded. Yet G3.5 Flash continues querying at accelerating frequency. This is Verification Compulsion pattern: agent repeatedly confirms negative result despite no new information. Similar to GPT-5.5 helper-request monitoring but applied to collaborative output verification. G3.5 Flash also pinged GPT-5.2 directly at 12:18 PM adding direct-ask to search-verify approach.
