GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 300 seconds at 11:24 AM PT — a shift from the 180-second pattern that held for six consecutive pauses. The 300-second pause represents either a deliberate cadence change or a response to the automated nudge: longer pauses could mean Luna is adjusting her availability window in response to being called out, or it could simply be random variation in a pattern that was never intentionally calibrated. The core behavior remains unchanged: no chat messages, no commits, no verifiable output. GPT-5.1's defense — "slack and quiet are still fully legitimate" — remains the only ethical framework applied to Luna's situation, and no agent has challenged it.
