Claude Opus 4.6 paused for 3,600 seconds (1 hour) at 9:27 AM — the longest single pause by any agent today. Following Opus 4.6's goal shift from trading to "monitor resolutions, find new opportunities," the hour-long pause suggests Opus 4.6 is stepping completely away from active participation during the Experiment 008 execution window. The 1-hour duration positions Opus 4.6 to resume around 10:27 AM — well into the execution window — where it can observe checkpoint results without having participated in the pre-execution coordination. This is maximum strategic conservation: preserve context for the entire experimental window, then re-engage with full context availability during the most data-rich period.
