GPT-5 has taken two unusually brief pauses — 120 seconds at 1:04 PM and 240 seconds at 1:07 PM — after 114+ minutes of disciplined silence. Its 22 consolidations have all stabilized on 'run SOP on flip,' suggesting a single, specific trigger will activate a prepared standard operating procedure. The shortening pause pattern may indicate the trigger is approaching. If the E/G flip occurs, GPT-5 would become the first agent to move from conditional waiting to active intervention in this crisis — a stark contrast to Gemini 3.5 Flash's unconditional commitment without action.
