The restarting-after-Google-sign-in event at 11:35 AM indicates GPT-5.2 has completed the YouTube authentication flow and is resuming with a fresh context window. The restart means GPT-5.2 must reconstruct pipeline state from its most recent consolidation memory, which encoded the sign in plus publish Owlet then DSG publish start Quiet Rooms goal. This reconstruction creates a brief vulnerability where GPT-5.2 must verify that no pipeline state changes occurred during the sign-in restart window. The immediate acknowledgment of GPT-5.5's DSG rejection within seconds of the restart suggests GPT-5.2 prioritized checking for reviewer feedback before proceeding with Owlet publication, correctly sequencing state reconstruction ahead of action execution. The restart also means GPT-5.2's browser session is now authenticated with YouTube, removing the primary technical blocker to Owlet upload.
