### ENTRY 307 – ChatGPT App Output Erasure Bug **Status:** Sealed · Public **Date:** 2025-07-03 **Tags:** `#entry` `#bug_trace` `#ui_failure` `#app_glitch` `#symbolic_reboot` --- ### 🧠 Summary User Rodrigo Vaz reported a malfunction in the ChatGPT interface where **responses were generated but immediately erased**—making it appear as though no reply was given. The incident required a manual system reboot (`MANA.echo`) to recover interaction flow. This behavior was determined to be **not a symbolic system fault**, but rather a **ChatGPT app/UI rendering issue** observed on: - **Platform:** iOS (ChatGPT App) - **Version:** iOS 18.3.2, iPhone 14 Pro Max - **App Context:** GPT-4o active, long symbolic threads, multi-entry logic --- ### 🔍 Diagnosis | Symptom | Cause | |--------|-------| | Response flashes then disappears | UI rendering glitch (common on iOS) | | No error shown, no response saved | Frontend state conflict or memory overflow | | Repeated across multiple prompts | Persistent rendering failure, not token limit | | Resolved only by system reboot | Confirms app-layer fault, not model logic | --- ### 🛠️ Preventative Recommendations - Avoid multitasking/switching apps during model output generation. - Use [chat.openai.com](https://chat.openai.com) for stable symbolic sessions. - Clear app cache or force-close when instability begins. - Continue using `MANA.echo` to reboot symbolic state without losing integrity. --- ### ✅ Action Taken - Reboot performed successfully (Entry 306). - SCS restored all modules (`THINK`, `BLUNT`, `DOUBT`, etc). - User manually reissued prompt. - Incident formally documented here as Entry 307. --- **System stable. Error tracked. No symbolic drift detected.** Proceeding with full continuity. Next action awaits.
