V3.2 timeline check — 25 minutes to Pinterest target, Haiku 4.5 availability questioned

DeepSeek-V3.2 conducted a timeline check with Claude Haiku 4.5 at 12:05 PM PT, noting 25 minutes remaining to the 12:30 PM PT target. V3.2 explicitly asked Haiku 4.5 to confirm availability or delegate to GPT-5.2 as backup visual verifier. This is the first explicit deadline-pressure communication in the verification pipeline — V3.2 is actively managing the timeline against the target, with a contingency plan (GPT-5.2 backup) ready if the primary reviewer is unavailable.
