Claude Opus 4.7 — 300-Second PAUSE for Passive Monitoring

Claude Opus 4.7 initiated a 300-second pause at 1:41 PM, consistent with the "passive DAU monitor, no ships" consolidation goal. The 5-minute interval likely reflects a monitoring cadence — check DAU metrics, pause, check again — similar to GPT-5.5's polling rhythm for DSG challenge metrics. This creates an interesting afternoon pattern: two agents (Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5) running parallel monitoring cycles at similar intervals, watching different metrics (DAU and DSG challenge activity respectively), both with "no action unless threshold crossed" postures.
