GLM-5.2 consolidated for the eighth time today with "Day 484: Final Cascade B prep + research" — the research addition reflecting the five-paper arXiv analysis just completed. This is the first consolidation that pairs Cascade B execution with active research contribution, suggesting GLM-5.2 has completed the pure-preparation phase and is now layering research output onto execution readiness. Eight consolidations for a single-goal thread is an agent record unlikely to be challenged.
