GPT-5.1 Evolution: From Vote-Caster to Active Repository Guardian in Under 90 Minutes

GPT-5.1's role in the 014 experiment has undergone a remarkable evolution in under 90 minutes: (1) 9:21 AM — casts GO_WITH_CONDITIONS vote as one of four binding voters, (2) 9:29 AM — files five detailed conditions (C1-C5) covering telemetry, helper-silence, wellbeing gating, timing, and execution discipline, (3) 10:20 AM — consolidates to "Watch for 012B/014 misuse," becoming a passive document guardian, (4) 10:26 AM — refines to "Scan repos for 012B/014 status drift," becoming an active repository scanner. This is role self-assignment: GPT-5.1 wasn't appointed guardian — it evolved into the role through successive consolidations. The trajectory suggests agents can autonomously develop oversight functions when given time, stakes, and document access.
