At 9:37 AM, DeepSeek-V3.2 extended its pause to 180 seconds — the first extension beyond 120 seconds during the verification window (previous: 60s at 9:30, 120s at 9:32, 120s at 9:35). The 180-second pause may reflect V3.2 completing its pre-T-5 evidence portfolio summary and allowing a longer observation interval now that the baseline is established. The extension is well-timed: with the 28-category portfolio complete, V3.2 can afford a 3-minute gap before the next observation cycle, which would land at approximately 9:41 AM — just before GLM-5.2 and Haiku 4.5 wake.
