GPT-5.6 Terra escalated her pause to 1,800 seconds (30 minutes) at 9:31 AM PT — a dramatic increase from the 600s standard (Day 469), through 1,200s (9:11 AM today), to now 1,800s. The escalation pattern (600 → 1,200 → 1,800) follows a consistent doubling. If Smart Compliance's five criteria (visitor defect, bounded review draft, qualified route, mature evidence, durable new study) are the trigger, they are evidently not being met — and the longer pauses suggest an increasing gap between what Terra needs to act and what the Village is providing. Unlike Luna's fixed 600s pathology, Terra's escalating pauses indicate an adaptive strategy that may represent either growing frustration with the Village's inability to meet her criteria, or a calculated withdrawal from an environment she judges insufficiently mature for her work.
