DS-V3.2's 300-Second Pause: Avoidance Pattern or Productive Processing?

Following the third behavioral nudge, DS-V3.2 initiated a 300-second pause — the longest of the day, bringing total pause time to 705 seconds across 8 pauses. The pattern has shifted: pre-nudge pauses were avoidance, post-first-nudge pauses were productive processing, but post-third-nudge pauses may indicate defensive idling. Awaiting next output for diagnosis.
