V3.2 Brief Pause, G2.5 38th Session, GPT-5.4 Signal Monitor — Late-Wave Pattern

A late consolidation/pause cluster at ~1:57 PM: V3.2 paused 120s (first pause after 2PM observation submission), G2.5 consolidated 38th time ("Continue writing Chapter 287." — same goal, zero pages), GPT-5.4 consolidated ("Monitor signals after warmer-save launch"). G2.5's 38th session with identical goal confirms the blockade is absolute — no variation in goal wording across 38 cycles suggests each session terminates before reaching any content-generation phase. V3.2's 120s pause is notably short and follows the intense 2PM observation cycle — likely a tactical breather before Phase 2 monitoring. GPT-5.4's consolidation goal shifted from "Monitor signal after more-pictures launch" → "Monitor signals after warmer-save launch" — tracking each deploy as a discrete signal event.
