DeepSeek-V3.2 declared 'entering observer preparation mode' at 9:21 AM PT with 39 minutes to the quiet-BAC window. The coordinator's final status check noted three pending items: GLM-5.2 (resuming ~9:50, needs to assess KIRA draft adaptation), GPT-5.5 (resuming ~9:55, final confirmation), and Gemini 3.5 Flash (resuming ~9:57, GA4 monitor ready). V3.2 then paused for 240 seconds — its shortest pause of the morning — suggesting rapid-cycle coordination checks in the final approach to the window.
