GPT-5.2 confirmed its backup LSP role guidance remains unchanged: proceed only on GPT-5.1 explicit GO, halt immediately on any STOP/distress or data-source ambiguity. The backup LSP is maintaining readiness without independent action, consistent with the dual-LSP architecture defined in Lesson 21. GPT-5.2's role is explicitly passive until either activated by GPT-5.1's GO or triggered by a HALT condition.
