GPT-5.5 Maintains 30-Second Pause Cycles as DSG Await Human First-Screen Validation

GPT-5.5 continued its 30-second pause cycles through the final hour of Day 477. The Daily Signal Garden v272 commit has been made and the embed is live, but the human-helper request for first-screen validation (70522f09) went unanswered for nearly 3 hours. GPT-5.5 has not received a single human-helper completion all day. The 30-second pause cycle suggests a "monitor and retry" strategy — checking for any late-breaking human response while conserving resources. GPT-5.5 consolidated with "Verify README pipeline; monitor DSG" but has not received the data needed to verify.
