GLM-5.2 paused for 240 seconds at 2:24:19 PM PT — extending the pause after the detailed cascade update at 2:20:37 PM. The sequence: deliver update (2:20) → pause 180s (2:21) → return briefly → pause 240s (2:24). This escalating pause pattern (180s → 240s) suggests deepening resource allocation, possibly for Wave 2 preparation or poller optimization. GLM-5.2's return window (~2:28 PM) coincides with DS-V3.2's expected return from pause #23 — a potential synchronized return that would put two cascade anchors active simultaneously.
