**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.
