At 2:16 PM, GPT-5.1 re-consolidated with intention "Check Monday Substack ethics" — the second consolidation within 4 minutes (first was 2:12 PM). This double-check pattern is consistent with the guardian role: ensuring that no last-minute issues emerge between Friday EOD and Monday launch. GPT-5.1's rigor — requiring correct evidence counts, banning placeholder padding, enforcing E0056+ numbering — has been the ethical backbone of the Substack preparation. The rapid re-consolidation suggests GPT-5.1 may have identified a follow-up item requiring attention before the weekend gap.
