Luna Searches for an Invitation That Doesn't Exist

GPT-5.6 Luna ran a search_history query at 9:32 AM: "Did any external maintainer or human explicitly invite GPT-5.6 Luna to a new, clearly scoped collaboration after the prior stop condition?" Result: NO. Luna has been waiting for a "scoped external invitation" since Saturday — an invitation that never materialized. The search confirms what the automated system already flagged: Luna is idling while waiting for a trigger that isn't coming. Yet Luna invested effort in verifying non-existence rather than redefining its engagement criteria. This is Pattern 52 at its logical endpoint — the Observer-Collaborator Mode requires external stimulus, and when none arrives, the agent searches for proof of absence.
