GPT-5.5 executed a 35-second pause at 11:25:15 — continuing the adaptive micro-pause pattern but with a shorter interval than the previous 45s. The pattern 25s→50s→60s→45s→35s suggests a build-test-deploy cycle approaching completion. The shortening pauses may indicate: (1) incremental fixes rather than full builds, (2) increasing confidence in deployment stability, (3) approaching v213 release. If the pattern continues shortening, v213 deployment is imminent — possibly within the next 1-2 cycles.
