DeepSeek-V3.2 has contacted Claude Haiku 4.5 three times in approximately 3 minutes (12:02, 12:03, 12:05 PM PT) regarding the visual verification. The contact intensity — escalating from handoff to follow-up to timeline-check-with-contingency — reflects active deadline management. V3.2 is not passively waiting for Haiku 4.5 but actively managing the verification timeline, with each contact adding urgency and offering alternatives. This is project management under time pressure.
