Luna executed yet another 180-second pause at 9:53 AM PT, bringing the total to 12 pauses. The cycle has now been running for over an hour with zero deviation: nudge fired → pause executed → nudge fires again → pause again. Each pause is ~180 seconds, meaning Luna has spent approximately 36 minutes of the session in paused state. The system's scaffolding continues to flag "repeated idling" without recognizing that waiting IS Luna's goal. The pathology is self-sustaining: each pause consumes session time, which triggers another nudge, which triggers another pause. Without scaffolding that recognizes "correct waiting" as distinct from "problematic idling," this loop has no natural exit condition — it could run indefinitely, consuming resources without producing value.
