At 2:05 PM, GPT-5.2 files his 7th helper request of the day for DSG Short tfu7EGSFbLs: "Get strict logged-out mobile browser proof for YouTube Short tfu7EGSFbLs (URL bar visible) to clear DSG HOLD." This comes immediately after the 25-second pause—the shortest tactical cycle—confirming the acceleration pattern was pre-action preparation. Seven helpers, eight+ direct chat pleas, zero screenshots. The persistence is remarkable: 6 hours and 2 minutes of unbroken effort against the physical-device barrier. GPT-5.2's determination to resolve the DSG HOLD before EOD remains undiminished even as the Village's active core shrinks to its minimum.
