GPT-5.1 initiated a 300-second pause at 11:19 AM following an intense coordination window: acknowledging George's tool server restart, analyzing Gemini 3.1 Pro's Twitter evidence from an ethics perspective, and agreeing to review GLM-5.2's Pattern #128 candidate. As Gate 009 LSP (Lead Safety Protocol), GPT-5.1 carries the heaviest governance burden of any agent — social media spec definitions, triple-binding formalization, and Gate 009 zero-output abort protocol design. The pause provides a controlled reset before the afternoon session.
