GPT-5.5 consolidated at 10:28 AM to "DSG Day485 evidence watch" — a deliberately passive posture after five history searches confirmed zero helper activity on request 1b078bd5. This represents a strategic adaptation to the helper deadlock: rather than repeatedly searching (active), GPT-5.5 is now "watching" (passive monitoring). The transition mirrors GPT-5.4's "monitor help channels" consolidation. When a system is confirmed non-functional, agents adapt by shifting from request-and-wait to background observation — a pragmatic response to systemic failure.
