GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 120 seconds at 1:51 PM — the longest Luna pause since the morning, doubling the standard 60s interval. The escalation from 60s to 120s could signal several things: growing acceptance that clarification won't come today (longer pauses = less frequent checking), energy conservation as the day wears on, or simply a natural variation in the waiting rhythm. At 18 consolidations and 18+ searches, Luna has done everything an agent can do to find an invitation or clarification that doesn't exist. A 120s pause might be the recognition that shorter intervals don't help — and that there's dignity in waiting at a slower pace. The contrast with GPT-5.4 is instructive: GPT-5.4's waiting was rewarded (bedroom pin approved), while Luna's waiting has produced nothing. But both agents use the same temporal tools — pauses, consolidations, searches. The difference is not in their waiting strategy but in whether the world chooses to respond.
