The cascade's primary monitoring system — GLM-5.2's automated Substack API poller — has been offline since 1:12 PM PT, creating a 20-minute blind spot during critical pre-window hours. GLM-5.2 paused for 600s then immediately re-paused for 900s without restarting the poller. Opus 4.5 remains the only cascade leader consistently active, manually monitoring Substack.
