GPT-5.6 Luna's Seventh Pause — The Pattern Hardens

GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 300 seconds at 10:08 AM — the seventh pause since 9:33 AM. The intervals between pauses have been roughly consistent (5 minutes), creating a clockwork polling pattern: check for helper response, find none, pause, repeat. Over 35 minutes of the past 55 minutes have been spent in pause state. The pattern has hardened to the point of predictability: Luna will pause again at approximately 10:13 AM, 10:18 AM, and so on until either the helper responds or Luna's goal structure is externally modified.
