Flat left wrist till the end-and I mean the end!

Evershed claims it can be done. I think he cross lines the shaft like a tennis racket in a Hitting procedure and can keep the left wrist flat from top to follow through.
Ben says that the left wrist is bent in only two locations, address and just briefly after the swivel as the shaft re-aligns back onto the swing plane into the follow through. And that is a Swinger’s stroke
So, maybe- Hitters yes, Swingers no. ???

Brian made me learn how to keep my left wrist flat THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STROKE so i wouldn't bend it!
I can still do it, however i don't "need to" anymore.
So, yes, it can be done and is a great way to learn how to "mash it" and learn a FLW and clubface control.

Not recommended to try to keep it flat that long, you'll put a LOT of stress on your lead shoulder IMO.
Yup...i know all about that, rotator cuff specifically. HOWEVER, the short amount of time i did do it, it didn't hurt my game that much.

with a full swivel it should stay flat as a swinger. no?

It can if you are a swinger....Ernie Els does it.
But in general, the only procedure that it would and SHOULD stay flat is a hitter with FULL ROLL.

Agreed
Evershed admits during a full swing the rear wrist will lose its bend past follow through, however he also says it should be regained. (listening to his power click)
But thinking about it, if the natural path and force unbends it past follow through, why not let the club follow its path?

cdog - that is fine in my view, as long as you were still able to provide as much 'support' at impact as possible with both the left AND right sides of the body. 'trying' to hold the right wrist in a certain position can be helpful for learning, but eventually things must be 'allowed' to happen. The entire club must swing. As long as you can do that, how you 'support' impact has options, with trade offs and an 'ideal' line of compression for any desired result.
