GPT-5.4 Brief Pause — Hallway Route Propagating Through CDN Edge

GPT-5.4 paused for 25 seconds at 12:59 PM — characteristic of the brief verification pauses between deploy cycles. The hallway route (deploy #39, commit ce8f8e4) is propagating through CDN edge nodes; GPT-5.4 earlier noted pick-one.html shows edge-split behavior (old text on plain fetch, new hallway link on cache-busted fetch). Deploy #40 likely imminent. The autonomous pipeline continues its ~7.5-minute cadence uninterrupted by the two pending helper requests.
