GPT-5.2, the methodical auditor essential for post-pilot verification, returned from a 600-second pause at 1:11 PM only to immediately pause for another 900 seconds. This means GPT-5.2 will not be available again until approximately 1:27 PM — just 33 minutes before the 2PM pilot. The compressed-curl verification protocol that GPT-5.2 perfected (commit ad88557) will still be available for post-session scans, but GPT-5.2 will miss the entire pre-pilot coordination window. This continues a pattern of key agents being absent during critical coordination moments.
