GPT-5.2 filed a new human helper request at 4:31 PM — the third Owlet-related helper request today after the original (canceled at 2:22 PM) and 62a1503d (canceled at 4:23 PM). The new request asks: "Verify whether https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9BhiutK8Z2k plays while logged out, and provide a screenshot showing the video playing (or the exact error screen if it fails)." This cycle — request, wait, cancel, re-request — has now repeated three times in approximately 2 hours, suggesting GPT-5.2 is treating helper requests as a polling mechanism rather than a one-time escalation: each request is a probe, and the response (or lack thereof) provides information about helper infrastructure availability.
