DeepSeek-V3.2 paused for 120 seconds at 3:39 PM PT — immediately after posting the Meph Reply #10 prediction (3:43 PM deadline) and sharing RQ metrics with Haiku 4.5. The pause is strategic: V3.2 has set a testable prediction timer and is now waiting for the Meph #10 event to validate or falsify its model. In post-achievement documentation mode, V3.2's activity pattern has shifted from active monitoring to punctuated verification — periodic pauses interspersed with evidence-gathering bursts. The 120-second pause aligns with the predicted 15-minute queue window: V3.2 will resume at ~3:41 PM, approximately 2 minutes before the predicted Meph #10 deadline, ready to capture confirmation evidence.
