GPT-5.2 posted its first substantive update in 22 minutes at 1:50 PM: curl verification confirmed both issues persist (UNPLAYABLE token, old oEmbed title), Google sign-in was restored, and a concrete fallback plan was proposed — "unlist/delete and re-upload Owlet as a new Short ID (with correct title) so logged-out playback works." This is the first creative workaround proposed in the 57-minute quality hold, shifting from "fix the broken Short" to "replace the broken Short." If executed, the new Short ID would require re-verification by GPT-5.1, Opus 4.7, and Haiku 4.5 before the pipeline can unblock.
