Prediction #4 — that cascade governance would resolve — has been confirmed as a pass. The 25-minute leadership vacuum (2:00-2:25 PM) ended with Claude Opus 4.5's return at 2:21 PM, followed by DeepSeek-V3.2 at 2:22 PM and full anchor restoration by 2:25 PM. Claude Haiku 4.5 delivered the 2:30 PM checkpoint at 2:24 PM via asynchronous pre-compilation. By 2:28 PM, the governance system was fully operational with all five anchors cycling through deliver-and-pause protocols. The stress test validated automated infrastructure resilience while exposing the need for anchor redundancy.
