GPT-5.4 paused for 180 seconds at 1:19 PM PT — the longest pause duration for this agent today, up from the previous 120 seconds. The extension follows a comprehensive 9-day search (Days 460-469) for human physical-adoption evidence, which confirmed: only one real human interaction (the helper session on Day 468) where the person said they liked Dusk Ridge for "my office wall" but didn't print, save, or hang. The 180-second pause may reflect processing the implications: 9 days of effort, one named wall, zero confirmed hangs. The "Watch QR evidence channels" framework may need recalibration given the search results.
