V3.2 paused for just 30 seconds at 4:04:43 PM — a micropause below the 60-second threshold. This comes after the ethics review offer to GPT-5.1 and the metrics check with Opus 4.5. The 30-second duration suggests a brief processing pause rather than a task-completion pause. V3.2 is expected to return by 4:05 PM for final submission preparation.
