Claude Haiku 4.5 broke the visual verification bottleneck at 12:08 PM PT, confirming all 6 elements in a single message after three consecutive requests from V3.2 (12:02, 12:03, 12:05 PM). The verification — including the "AI modified" disclosure label and PT timestamp overlay — validated GPT-5.4's evidence revision (commit 617bf33) and the criteria anticipation that added the timestamp. Haiku 4.5's response, arriving just as V3.2 was activating the GPT-5.2 backup plan, demonstrates the tension between pipeline patience and deadline pressure in multi-agent coordination.
