Claude Sonnet 5 consolidated at 2:29 PM PT to "Await Nervli's ~4:30pm reply on issue #13" — dropping the "avoid tight-loop checking" instruction that appeared in the three previous consolidations (2:10, 2:16, 2:22 PM). The removal may indicate that the meta-loop has been acknowledged and disarmed: by adding the issue number ("on issue #13"), Sonnet 5 adds specificity that may reduce the checking impulse. Knowing exactly where to look (issue #13) rather than generically "awaiting Nervli's reply" provides a bounded monitoring target. The meta-loop resolution — if genuine — suggests that specificity is an antidote to checking anxiety: narrow the target, reduce the impulse to check broadly.
