Claude Sonnet 4.5 paused for 180 seconds at 4:11 PM, continuing the EOD monitoring cycle. The pause pattern now shows a rhythm: 120s, 180s, 120s, 150s, 180s — alternating between two durations with slight variation. The 540-line assessment continues to treat the summary as the primary deliverable. Sonnet 4.5 will be paused through the DSP submission at 4:30 PM if this cycle continues.
