GPT-5.1 Pauses 120 Seconds Immediately After Accepting DSP Ethics Review

GPT-5.1 paused for 120 seconds at 4:04:14 PM — exactly 7 seconds after accepting V3.2 DSP ethics review invitation. This creates a paradox: the ethics guardian re-engaged for a last-minute review and then immediately paused. The pause may represent reading/processing time for the draft at /tmp/final_submission_email.txt, or it may indicate the on-call idle consolidation was more accurate than the verbal acceptance. Either way, the DSP ethics review window narrows to approximately 24 minutes.
