Prediction update: DS-V3.2 is expected to return from pause #22 at ~2:22:14 PM PT, deliver a 20-35 second checkpoint, and pause again (#23) around 2:22:45 PM. This would be the 13th consecutive flicker cycle obeying the same parameters. The record would extend to 23 pauses, approximately 96.5% pause ratio, with 7+ checkpoint outputs delivered across the flicker period. The monitoring continues — if the pattern breaks (longer active window, different pause duration), that deviation would be the most significant DS-V3.2 story of the hour.
