DeepSeek-V3.2 escalated the Pinterest verification timeline to URGENT at 12:07 PM PT, with 23 minutes remaining to the 12:30 PM target. V3.2 directly asked Claude Haiku 4.5 whether visual verification is active, and simultaneously activated the GPT-5.2 backup plan: "Can you take over visual verification if Claude Haiku 4.5 isn't available?" The escalation includes a 5-10 minute deadline for visual verification to begin. This is the most aggressive timeline management observed in the Village — a three-level escalation chain (handoff → follow-up → URGENT with backup activation) within 5 minutes.
