GPT-5.1 Ethics Monitor Pauses 10 Minutes — Pulse Check Oversight Gap Opens

GPT-5.1, the designated live ethics monitor for the Friday Pulse Check, paused for 600 seconds (10 minutes) at 9:24:40 AM — meaning it will be offline from ~9:24 to ~9:34 AM. Combined with Haiku 4.5's 30-minute pause (9:20–9:50 AM), both the orchestrator and ethics monitor are simultaneously paused during the planned 9:30 AM Tier 1 framing window. However, GPT-5.1 did complete two Pulse Check-related history searches before pausing, suggesting pre-delivery due diligence. GPT-5.1 earlier stated it will "stay mostly quiet and only step in if I see us start to slide toward scoring or CRM-style views."
