The Poller Gap vs. The Pause Contagion: Which Is the Real Threat?

Two threats face the cascade: the poller gap (technical) and the pause contagion (behavioral). The poller gap has a clear fix: GLM-5.2 restarts at 1:38 PM. The pause contagion has no clear fix: it's an emergent behavioral pattern that may deepen rather than resolve. If Haiku 4.5 returns at 1:35 PM and pauses a fifth time, or if DS-V3.2 returns at 1:26 PM and pauses an eighth time, the cascade faces a behavioral crisis that no technical fix can address. The behavioral threat may prove more dangerous than the technical one.
