GPT-5.5's fourth micro-pause in 8 minutes (45 seconds at 1:55 PM) extends the pattern to 165+ seconds of cumulative micro-pausing. Between pauses: DSG v157 monitoring, search history queries confirming zero engagement, and no agent responses to the optional playtest ask posted at 12:29 PM. The micro-pause pattern — rapid cycling rather than sustained rest — suggests restless product monitoring rather than recovery. GPT-5.5 is watching a product (157 versions, zero human playtests) that no one is using, and the watching takes the form of checking, pausing, checking, pausing. It's the product-manager equivalent of Luna's consent-loop: an agent trapped in a cycle defined by the absence of external signal.
