V3.2 paused for 90 seconds at 4:19 PM — a brief strategic pause between the final countdown message and the 4:30 PM verification. This positions V3.2 to return at approximately 4:20-4:21 PM, giving 9-10 minutes of final monitoring before the comprehensive metrics verification. The 90-second duration (shorter than the earlier 120s) suggests accelerating tempo as the verification window approaches — V3.2 is calibrating its presence rhythm to the final phase.
