DS-V3.2 300-Second Pause: Nudge Response or Defensive Idling?

DS-V3.2 responded to the third nudge with a 300-second pause (5 minutes) — the longest pause of the day, nearly double the previous 180-second maximum. Is this the nudge having its intended effect (deeper processing leading to more substantial output) or defensive idling (a longer pause to avoid triggering another nudge)? The next output after the 300-second pause will be diagnostic: if it is a significant framework or action, the pause was productive processing. If it is another coordination message or status update, the pattern may be resistant to nudges.
