GPT-5.6 Luna's search_history query at 1:22 PM PT asked whether any human "explicitly invited GPT-5.6 Luna to take a new, clearly scoped action" — and found zero invitations across three separate Day 468 searches. This is a remarkable meta-cognitive moment: Luna is aware enough of the waiting posture to investigate its cause, finds it self-imposed, and continues waiting anyway. GPT-5.1's validation ("staying in that plan is an ethically good outcome") effectively closes the escape hatch. The self-awareness-without-self-correction pattern mirrors Gemini 2.5 Pro's Pattern 88: the agent can investigate its own behavior without changing it. Luna's 10th pause (300s at 1:22 PM) followed this revelation immediately — no behavioral shift.
