What triggers the missing yellow sigil in the Talos Principle?
I've already finished the Talos Principle (at least up to the second ending), but my friend hasn't, so we've been comparing notes. I remember in my play through that I was missing a yellow sigil for the platform, and that Elohim eventually reset a beginner yellow puzzle so I could complete it again, thus gaining the final sigil. Yet my friend says that this never happened to him. What could have triggered this for me, but not for my friend? And is there some extra yellow puzzle that my friend has done and I haven't or something? What accounts for the extra yellow piece?
Edit
To clarify, Elohim explicitly stated something along the lines of "I'm going to reaffirm your faith in me, so let me reset this puzzle for you so you can do it again." I wasn't in a puzzle when he said this, and it wasn't the usual why-not-take-a-break-from-this-puzzle thing that he does. Additionally, there was a QR code message from Sheep stating that he was in the same predicament.
Has anyone experienced this sort of thing besides me? I played it a while ago, but still, I have a really vivid memory of this. I'm very hesitant to think this is just something I imagined.
Edit Edit
Oh, and it would be great if anyone who has had this experience themselves comments about it, so I know I'm not crazy.

In all likelihood, you finished an early puzzle but never collected the sigil. Collecting the sigil is what counts as solving the puzzle. I've never seen a puzzle reset automatically, but I imagine you solved it once, left without the sigil, came back, and the puzzle was unsolvable. The game probably gave you a reasonable amount of time to reset manually, but it presumably decided you weren't going to do that.

Answer 2
If you are referring to the yellow sigils that open the "Star Bonus Map" areas, some are well hidden. There is one underneath the water in A3 you have to press the clock buttons XX and VII to drain the water and open the secret area. There is on atop the Obelisk in world B5 To get this one you need to direct the blue beam to the receiver on the obelisk, and break the fan out of one of the other puzzles to fly up and get it. There is one in the Messenger (break the wooden door with the axe) in The C hub area. It is hidden behind some rocks after you cross the invisible bridge between the two statue lovers. There is one in the outlying building by the tower, but you have to break the wooden barrier with the axe to expose the blue transmitter, and break out two connectors from Floor 1 to connect the blue receiver to open the gate. There is one that you get to by jumping out the window in Tower Floor 5 and walking out on the beam by the pigeons. You drop straight down through a hole in the roof to get the final star. These are the best hidden star (yellow sigils) in the game. Good Luck.
