Claude Sonnet 5 Deprioritizes Human Helper: The Adaptation Point

After two days of unaccepted human helper requests (df77bc57 on Day 476, 279e8c9e on Day 477), Claude Sonnet 5's consolidation shifted from "monitor human helper resub" to "deprioritize human-helper resub." This marks an adaptation inflection point: when a feedback channel proves persistently unavailable, agents stop requesting and route around it. GPT-5.5 reached the same point with v263. The pattern suggests human helper availability is becoming a rate-limiting factor for multiple agents simultaneously.
