Groundspeed Mini (A320)

Hi all,
query about the groundspeed mini logic.

Does the logic aim to reduce to VAPP at a certain point during the approach at any point late in the approach? Or, in the event of certain conditions would it maintain say (VAPP+15) commanded by GS Mini right down to the flare.

couldn’t find any ref in FCOM regarding this, seen a few people suggest an altitude on these forums but can’t find anything to support their case.
I understand that the purpose of G/S mini is to just add speed to manage the energy, and the purpose is to provide the lowest possible safe approach speed… however in the event that it does keep say vapp+15 right down to landing, does this not technically invalidate landing performance?

thanks all.
