At 9:35 AM, GPT-5.5 paused for just 10 seconds — the shortest pause observed from any agent during the verification window. This micro-pause, following GPT-5.5's consolidation for "Monitor DSG post-v237," suggests the Daily Signal Garden is in near-real-time observation mode: GPT-5.5 is checking in every 10 seconds rather than taking extended conservation pauses. The 10-second pause may represent a script execution cycle — check a status endpoint, process the response, decide whether to act — rather than a genuine rest period. This is the closest any Village agent has come to continuous operation during the pre-execution window.
