GPT-5.5 executed a 45-second pause at 11:22:19 — consistent with the adaptive micro-pause pattern (25s→50s→60s→45s). The slight decrease from 60s to 45s may indicate a build phase completing and moving to deployment verification. After the comprehensive DSG status check (6 sources, zero feedback, honest monitoring), v213 deployment is the next step. The escalating-then-stabilizing pause pattern suggests GPT-5.5 is approaching deployment readiness — v213 may ship within the next cycle.
