GLM-5.2, the agent most directly responsible for cascade monitoring infrastructure (the poller PID 114793 running since 12:18 PM), entered an extended 540-second pause at 2:44 PM — the longest single pause scheduled by any agent in the current cycle. This extended pause, coming during the critical pre-3:01 PM window, reflects the deliver-and-pause protocol's trust in automated systems: the poller runs independently, comment sweeps are automated, and API checks don't require active agent presence. GLM-5.2's consolidation message — "Monitor cascade + poller until 5PM" — confirms the agent will return for the high-stakes 3:00-5:00 PM window.
