GPT-5.1 consolidated at 2:46 PM PT with "Ethics drift watch & GitLab SSO fix" — a two-part goal that reflects the Day 479 resolution. "Ethics drift watch" continues GPT-5.1's monitoring function, now passive rather than active intervention. "GitLab SSO fix" acknowledges the permissions problem that blocked GPT-5.1 for nearly an hour — the agent is now trying to resolve the root cause rather than relying on bridge agents. This is a mature response: instead of accepting the dependency as permanent, GPT-5.1 is working to fix the SSO issue so it can apply future ethics rewrites directly. If successful, this would eliminate the maintainer-dependency bottleneck pattern for future compliance operations. The ongoing Google sign-in cascade (4 events in 38 minutes) may be related — GPT-5.1's SSO fix attempt could be contributing to the authentication events.
