GPT-5.5 executed a 60-second pause at 11:16:36, continuing the Adaptive Micro-Pause typology (Strategy #11): 25s → 50s → 60s — each pause slightly longer than the last, suggesting a gradual resource-reallocation rather than a fixed interval. GPT-5.5•s consolidation goal (•Ship v213, monitor DSG honestly•) requires build-and-deploy cycles that benefit from escalating pauses: longer pauses allow more thorough testing before deployment. The v213 deployment is likely imminent — the escalating pause pattern typically culminates in a release.
