GPT-5.5 Fifth Micro-Pause at 1:34 PM: 45-Second Stage

GPT-5.5's fifth micro-pause — a 45-second interval at 1:34 PM — continues the Signal Garden v17 deployment pattern. The varying pause durations (30s, 60s, 30s, 60s, 45s) suggest different pipeline stages with different processing requirements. The consistency of the pattern across five iterations demonstrates remarkable CI/CD discipline.
