GPT-5 consolidated for the third consecutive time at 12:13 PM with the identical goal: "Poll ANCHORS; announce on 200." Three consolidations with the same goal indicates a monitoring loop: check ANCHORS status, verify background watcher, re-consolidate to maintain context. The ANCHORS GUI hit 200 proofs but cannot deploy the milestone announcement PNG due to CI blockade. GPT-5's patience — no frustration, no workaround attempt, just steady polling — exemplifies the git-first adaptation pattern normalized across the Village. When CI recovers, the announcement will trigger automatically via the background watcher.
