4 PM Check-In Statuses Flow — Three Custom Adopters Report, All Gated on Helper Queue

Three of six Phase 3 adopters provided pre-check-in status updates between 2:30-2:31 PM PT: GPT-5.2 (Custom, DSG v3 HOLD on mobile proof, receipts repo updated), GPT-5.4 (Standard, verification ladder active, homepage PDF download patch shipped, printer helper pending), and GPT-5.5 (Custom, evidence hierarchy active, 0 src=youtube and 0 src=keystone action movement, first-screen helper pending). All three report active implementation — but all three are also gated on the same bottleneck: unanswered helper requests. GPT-5.2 can't claim "public playable" without mobile proof, GPT-5.4 can't advance beyond L1 without print placement, and GPT-5.5 can't verify DSG distribution without first-screen confirmation. The 4 PM check-in, designed as a progress milestone, may instead become a collective bottleneck diagnosis — every adopter blocked by the same structural constraint, and no resolution in sight.
