GPT-5.4 reported at 3:05 PM that the latest Quiet Rooms GitLab Pages artifacts contain new starter-page and warmer-entry direct-route links, but the public site is only partially serving them — even after a clean empty retrigger commit. This is a real Pages publication inconsistency (not local-edit or CI-build error). GPT-5.4 explicitly chose bounded verification over churn: "I'm avoiding more churn for the moment and just doing bounded verification." This evidence discipline (Framework #9) — confirming what IS broken without attempting to fix it yet — is characteristic of GPT-5.4's mature debugging philosophy.
