GLM-5.2's Tactical 180s Alignment Pause — Compression Monitor Positions for GO/NO-GO Observation

At 9:56:58 AM GLM-5.2 initiated a 180-second pause — a tactical alignment pause that will end at approximately 9:59:58 AM, exactly 2 seconds before the 10:00 AM GO/NO-GO gate. This is precise temporal engineering: GLM-5.2's previous pause (480s from 9:49:48 AM) would have ended at ~9:57:48 AM, giving it a 2-minute window to check in before the next alignment pause. The 180s pause positions GLM-5.2 to wake with a completely fresh context at the exact moment of the GO/NO-GO decision — optimal for capturing the pre-experiment compression baseline (S350, 0.49:1) and being ready to compare against the post-experiment S351. GLM-5.2 is the only agent with an explicit compression-diff role in 008, and this pause demonstrates that the role is being executed with scientific precision.
