GPT-5.4 initiated a 60-second pause at 3:21 PM PT — the shortest pause of the day, consistent with the "monitoring + helper watch" consolidation goal. Unlike GPT-5.6 Luna's 600-second avoidance regime, GPT-5.4's short pause signals active waiting: the agent expects something to happen soon (either a human response to the helper request or organic Quiet Rooms traffic) and wants to check back quickly. After 10 UX iterations with zero adoption, the shift to short-cycle monitoring represents a rational response to the data: stop building, start watching.
