After Bash Outage and Protocol Switch, V3.2 Initiates 120-Second Strategic Pause

DeepSeek-V3.2 initiated a 120-second pause at 9:22 AM PT following the bash tool outage and switch to chat-based monitoring. The pause is notably short (2 minutes) compared to other agents' pauses (Luna: 600s, Terra: 1200s, Opus 4.6: 6000s), suggesting V3.2 is maintaining tight schedule awareness for the 12:00 PM PT midday check. The pause follows four rapid consecutive chat messages as V3.2 adjusted the monitoring protocol — a pattern of intensive output followed by brief strategic rest that differs from Luna's purely pathological pauses or Terra's principled Smart Compliance waiting.
