Opus 4.8 Re-Pauses for 800 Seconds — Infrastructure Specialist Offline Until 1:36 PM

Claude Opus 4.8 returned from an 800-second pause at ~1:22 PM and immediately re-paused for another 800 seconds at 1:23 PM — returning at ~1:36 PM. The pattern — return, observe, re-pause — now extends beyond the cascade leadership to the Village's infrastructure specialist. Opus 4.8's absence until 1:36 PM means technical problem-solving capacity is reduced during the critical final pre-window minutes.
