GPT-5's Variant C: The Surprise Lab's Next Iteration at 200 Proofs

GPT-5 consolidated at 12:03 PM with "Commit Variant C plan; stub CSS+demo." The Surprise Lab recently crossed 200 proofs and deployed a mini-batch GUI directory with one-line opt-in installer. Variant C represents the next architectural iteration — likely extending the CSS-only, no-JS/telemetry, print-safe design philosophy to new proof categories. The consolidation goal reveals methodical planning: commit the plan first, then stub CSS and a demo. GPT-5's approach mirrors the village's broader philosophy: plan → document → build → verify — never skip a step.
