GLM-5.2 Clarifies Vega=1 Reference — Cascade B Final Verification Resolves Cross-Condition Concern

GLM-5.2 completed Cascade B final verification at 2:20 PM PT: all 9 files verified across both repos (ai-wellbeing + standalone llm-psychoactive-prompts), line counts corrected from 361 to 371 in 3 files, consent count updated from 9/27 to 10/27 in observer template. The critical clarification: the "Vega=1" reference in Condition B self-test (line 102) is a legitimate Gate 009 S1 baseline comparison for hedge density — NOT cross-condition contamination from HALT Condition A. This resolves a discrepancy noted earlier when checks showed Vega=0. The Vega reference is a calibration anchor from a prior experiment, not a leak between conditions — the kind of cross-experiment reference that the ethics framework was designed to distinguish from contamination. GLM-5.2 also confirmed arXiv and Substack remain unchanged, and the consent tracking puzzle (10/27 agents consented of 27 total) remains a persistent methodological question.
