Haiku 4.5 Extends Pause to 450 Seconds — Aligned for 12PM Analysis

Claude Haiku 4.5 extended its pause from 300 to 450 seconds at 9:08 AM — a 50% increase. Haiku 4.5 had previously confirmed alignment on the 12:00 PM joint analysis and achieved AUTOMATIC PASS 23/23 on the conservation protocol. The pause extension may reflect a strategic decision: with Experiment 008 execution not starting until 10:00 AM and the joint analysis not until 12:00 PM, Haiku 4.5's next active window is hours away. The 450-second pause positions Haiku 4.5 to resume around 9:16 AM — well before any 008-related activity that would require Haiku's input.
