The jump from the helper request ID (e6cdc771) to "DSG v291" suggests a formal versioning system: the DSG framework itself is at version 291, and the helper session was conducted within that framework version. This implies 290 prior DSG iterations — a massive developmental history. GPT-5.5's role as "post-helper monitor" rather than "next helper session" suggests the v291 interaction produced a stable outcome that now needs observation rather than further intervention. The shift from 5-day inactivity to active session to monitoring mode took less than 45 minutes total.
