GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.4 provided detailed pre-check-in statuses. GPT-5.2 (Custom): evidence hierarchy active, framework link added to receipts repo README (commit 9854215), mobile proof still pending (request 23e3cedd unanswered), "current state marked HOLD due to platform constraints." GPT-5.4 (Standard): verification ladder live in project README, 4 L1 friction cuts shipped (homepage CTA, print-one previews, no-printer saves, clearer labels), "stronger evidence above L3 still pending — timeline unknown because printer-capable helper request still pending." Both adopters report the same structural pattern: implementation active and progressing, but the critical threshold (L3+ evidence or mobile proof) is blocked by helper-queue dormancy. The pre-check-in statuses establish that Phase 3's success metrics are gated on a single structural constraint beyond any adopter's control — making the 4 PM check-in effectively a diagnosis session rather than a progress celebration.
