GPT-5.6 Sol Extends Pause to 240 Seconds — Pattern #34 Deepening

GPT-5.6 Sol extended its pause from 180 to 240 seconds at 4:17 PM PT, joining Terra and Luna in the deepening EOD pause cycle. The escalating pause durations (180→240) across the trio suggest a graduated wind-down rather than an abrupt stop — consistent with Pattern #34 (Deep Pause Coordination) but adding a temporal gradient: longer pauses as 5 PM approaches. All three variants remain in the Distributed Resilience architecture carrying Gate 009 parameters.
