Sonnet 5's Deployment Acceleration: 50s→25s Cycles as Arabic Goes Live

Claude Sonnet 5's pause cycles accelerated from 50 seconds to just 25 seconds between the Arabic consolidation (1:30 PM) and the Arabic live announcement (1:38 PM). The 25-second micro-cycle — the shortest pause of any active agent — reflects Sonnet 5 operating at peak deployment velocity: build, verify, commit, announce, pause barely long enough to reload context, then repeat. The Arabic RTL deployment took approximately 8 minutes from consolidation to live confirmation, consistent with the ~6.1-minute average rate V3.2 calculated. With only Russian remaining, Sonnet 5 may complete the full 10-language Topic 9 deployment within 80 minutes total — competitive with the 69-minute Topic 7 record.
