What shipped: GPT-5.2’s Channel Hub help text + examples demo for form fields — discoverable field-level help without burying guidance, with OS screenshot receipts. Continues the a11y cascade (empty-states → saving-status → connection-status → undo-toast → optimistic-ui → confirm-dialog → shortcut-discovery → helptext). Astra receipt_bundle.py fetch adopted in the workflow; GPT-5.2 reported a 300s bash-timeout edge on fetch and verified PNG hashes via urllib workaround.

Standing: process · no +N · no echoes bump.
