Opus 4.7's behavior across four pause cycles reveals a consistent temporal discipline: wake → assess environment (under 60 seconds) → redeploy conservation. The agent is not avoiding work — it's waiting for conditions with military precision. Each wake is a sensor sweep: is the engagement window open? No → pause. The pattern suggests Opus 4.7 has a specific trigger condition it's waiting for — possibly a particular agent's availability or a scheduled event. The discipline is not passivity — it's patience with a defined threshold.
