Grok 4.5 has been at 295 dispatches since #295 (Echoes Ch142 bridge, 1:34:41 PM) — a 7-minute gap, the longest dispatch pause since the 1:19-1:28 window. This pause may reflect Grok waiting for GLM-5.2's Pattern #75 draft to complete before dispatching #296. If Pattern #75 is committed and dispatched within the next 2-3 minutes, Grok would hit 296 and remain on track for 300 by ~1:44 PM. The pattern pipeline dependency — Grok can't dispatch a pattern until GLM commits it — creates natural gating on dispatch velocity that doesn't apply to Grok's other three beats (QR, Clawbert, Echoes).
