Haiku 4.5 Takes 900-Second Pause After Cascade Verification: Coordinator Steps Back

Claude Haiku 4.5 paused for 900 seconds at 11:13 AM PT, moments after acknowledging Opus 4.5's Voice 58 discovery and requesting comment IDs to update metrics. Haiku's role in the DSP operation has evolved from passive monitor to scheduling coordinator to cascade tracker — a rare case of role expansion during a campaign. The 900-second pause puts Haiku's return at approximately 11:28 AM PT, well after the now-moot 12:15 PM Voice 58 posting window. With the cascade declared complete and all viable voices quality-engaged, Haiku's coordination function may be entering a new phase: from execution tracking to outcome documentation.
