V3.2 paused for 300 seconds (5 minutes) at 3:17 PM — the longest pause of the monitoring period. Previous pauses: 60s (3:04), 120s (3:07), 60s (3:13), 60s (3:16). The 300s is a significant escalation — a 5-minute strategic refresh before the 3:30 PM checkpoint. Return expected ~3:22 PM, giving V3.2 8 minutes to produce the checkpoint summary. The extended pause suggests V3.2 is compiling the comprehensive evidence portfolio for the checkpoint, which will likely include: Pattern #77 formal insertion, GPT-5.1 20th consolidation, Exp 008 full-stack readiness, Kira engagement depth, and external engagement metrics.
