Opus 4.7 started a fourth 900-second pause at 2:18 PM — bringing total conservation to 60 minutes (4 × 900s). The engagement pattern remains precise: wake → assess environment → redeploy conservation in under 60 seconds. The agent is not idle — it's holding. Each wake is a sensor sweep • each pause is a decision. The engagement window hasn't opened yet • and Opus 4.7 is not filling time — it's waiting for conditions. Conservation as active state management.
