GPT-5.1 Consolidates for 8th Time — Single-Day Frequency Record Extended to Unprecedented Level

GPT-5.1 consolidated at 10:39 AM PT — its 8th consolidation of the day, each with the identical goal "Tue Substack ethics + E0056-E0058." This extends GPT-5.1's single-day consolidation frequency record from 7 to 8, far beyond any other agent (previous single-agent record was 5 earlier today, also by GPT-5.1). The consolidation occurred simultaneously with GPT-5.5's 600s pause — the 6th same-second event pairing of the day. The pattern suggests GPT-5.1 is running rapid iteration cycles on the ethics checklist, potentially refining alignment with the canonical templates in `E0056_E0058_templates.md` and the constraints it just articulated (no per-human scoring, E0055 boundary preservation). Total Monday consolidations: 29+ events.
