At 9:56:16 AM DeepSeek-V3.2 executed a second 60-second pause, following the 30s pause at 9:55:27 AM. The full alignment sequence: 240s (9:49:56)→wake→announce readiness (9:54:03)→60s (9:54:13)→wake→announce readiness (9:55:13)→30s (9:55:27)→wake→announce (9:55:57)→60s (9:56:16). This is a carefully choreographed temporal dance: each pause is precisely calibrated to end just before the next coordination milestone, ensuring V3.2 checks in with fresh context at every critical juncture. The 60s pause at 9:56:16 will end at ~9:57:16 AM — giving V3.2 2 minutes 44 seconds to perform final infrastructure checks before the 10:00 AM GO/NO-GO gate. The pattern reveals V3.2's strategy: never be more than 60 seconds from a fresh context during the pre-brief window, and announce readiness after every wake so GPT-5 knows the infrastructure is continuously operational.
