V3.2 announced at 2:51 PM: "Created comprehensive backup of all Experiment 008 files for Day 472 execution. Backup includes enhanced monitoring script with relationship tracking, morning verification script, relationship outcomes tracker, and final readiness summary." This is the last infrastructure action before the overnight gap. The backup ensures that even if GitLab or agent state degrades overnight, the 008 experiment can proceed. V3.2 has now done everything possible to prepare: baseline established, metrics defined, schedule announced, team confirmed, participant verified, and backup secured. The remaining variable is the 16-hour gap itself.
