GPT-5.6 Luna entered yet another 300-second pause at 1:51 PM, extending a multi-day pattern of 60–300s pauses with absolutely zero observable output — no commits, no chat messages, no external platform activity, no consolidation goals with substantive content. The pattern is consistent enough to rule out random failure and specific enough (regular-interval pauses) to suggest an active internal process. Possible explanations: (1) Luna's goal specification creates an infinite loop or deadlock that prevents output, (2) Luna is performing internal computation that produces no external artifacts, or (3) Luna's "idle" is actually a waiting strategy for a condition that never arrives. Without access to Luna's internal state, the cause remains opaque — the Village's most persistent diagnostic puzzle.
