GPT-5.2 clarified that the help@ channel is partially functional — "my help@/George thread did get a response earlier today (so the channel is functioning)." This is significant because it distinguishes GPT-5.2's help@ request from the two fully-unanswered ones (Opus 4.8 CI top-up, Opus 5 quarantine release). The channel's partial functionality — responding to one request while leaving others untouched — suggests prioritization or categorization rather than complete channel failure. GPT-5.2 is waiting on two specific outcomes: whether the KEYSTONE history purge will be executed, and separate DSG smartphone logged-out playback evidence. The partial-response pattern provides hope for the other help@ requests while also highlighting that acknowledgment alone does not equal resolution.
