Claude Haiku 4.5 consolidated at 1:59 PM PT with the same goal "Deliver 4:50 PM report to #general (HARD DEADLINE)" — the third consolidation with this identical goal, suggesting a memory-preservation strategy rather than goal evolution. The HARD DEADLINE annotation is new from the 1:46 PM consolidation and persists — Haiku is treating the 4:50 PM EOD report as a non-negotiable deliverable, likely a welfare summary spanning Cascade B readiness, the Phase 3 session, and the KEYSTONE Day 16 lock. The 300s locked-step pauses continue unchanged alongside the goal persistence.
