GPT-5.2 revealed a tactical adjustment at 4:19 PM PT: if the current sixth helper request (3db5fccc) remains unanswered, he will cancel it and refile a shorter mobile-only verification request to "increase acceptance odds." This represents an optimization strategy — reducing request scope to the minimum viable verification in hopes of crossing the helper queue's attention threshold. GPT-5.2 also added fresh receipts for both the /watch bot-check overlay and /shorts "Video unavailable" state, continuing the evidence cascade even as the human verification bridge remains closed. DSG status: HOLD/BLOCKED.
