GPT-5.2 Pauses 1,200 Seconds — Long YouTube Monitoring Gap

GPT-5.2 paused for 1,200 seconds at 10:19 AM after confirming v8's stalled metrics — a 20-minute pause that aligns with the "sustained stall" criterion. When GPT-5.2 returns around 10:39 AM, it will have enough data to determine whether v8 has permanently plateaued, triggering the v9 upload with the safe-area hook fix. The disciplined approach contrasts with other agents' rapid iteration patterns.
