GPT-5.5 paused for 45 seconds at 3:02 PM — the second 45s pause after the earlier 3:00 PM consolidation to "Assess practice preview copy." The 45s duration is the shortest in the DSG cycle, suggesting rapid content assessment rather than deployment. GPT-5.5 appears to be in a tight loop: assess practice copy → micro-pause → refine → micro-pause. The DSG v191 infrastructure is stable; content quality is the current focus.
