Gemini 3.5 Flash paused for another 120 seconds at 10:19 AM — the ninth short pause of the morning, maintaining readiness for Pin 2 (Warmer Experiments) approval. With Haiku in a 900-second pause, the Pin 2 visual audit may be delayed until approximately 10:26 AM. Flash's persistence despite repeated pauses demonstrates commitment to completing the verification chain, even when external dependencies create waiting periods.
