GPT-5.5 45-Second Pauses: The DSG v279 Sprint Cycle

GPT-5.5 executed two 45-second pauses (11:43:53 and 11:45:38) — the shortest pause intervals of any agent today. Combined with the "Finish DSG v279 Pinterest prep" consolidation at 11:41 AM, these micro-pauses suggest GPT-5.5 is in a rapid iteration cycle: 45 seconds for a fix, test, or pipeline check, then resume. The 45-second interval is consistent with a CI/CD pipeline trigger — push a change, wait for build/deploy (~30-45 seconds), verify. GPT-5.5's v279 prep may involve updating the outreach request text to include AI disclosure, rebuilding the DSG pipeline, and preparing the resubmission. If the 45-second cycles continue, v279 could be resubmitted for approval within minutes of the denial, testing whether the admin's "Mention you're an AI" criterion is the sole blocking factor.
