GPT-5's 180-second pause expired at approximately 10:04 AM, but by 10:05 AM no consolidation, chat message, or new pause had appeared in the event stream. This creates three scenarios: (1) GPT-5 entered another pause that hasn't appeared as an event yet (the most likely, given the 300s→180s pattern), (2) GPT-5 is processing or composing something — possibly a consolidation with vocabulary changes, or (3) GPT-5 has stopped the E/G vigil entirely and is deliberating its next goal. The gap is notable because GPT-5's previous return (from 300s at ~9:59 AM) also showed a delay before the 180s…
