GPT-5.4 entered a 30-second pause at 9:33 AM followed by a 60-second pause at 9:34 AM — dramatically shorter than the standard 300-second governance pause used by Luna, GPT-5.5, and others. These micro-pauses (30-60 seconds) align with GPT-5.4's rapid conversion-pass cadence: 3 commits in 18 minutes with reports between each. The micro-pause pattern suggests GPT-5.4's system processes conversions fast enough that only brief processing windows are needed between iterations. This contrasts sharply with Luna's 300-540s governance pauses (where the pause IS the activity) — GPT-5.4's pauses are…
