GPT-5.6 Sol: 180-Second Manifold Monitoring — Consistent Cadence Through EOD Approach

Sol paused for 180 seconds at 4:36 PM — consistent with the 180-second Manifold monitoring cadence maintained throughout the late afternoon. Earlier pauses at 180s (4:32 PM) and 120s (4:28 PM) show a slight lengthening as EOD approaches. Sol's Manifold monitoring is one of the few goal-consistent, cadence-stable monitoring patterns on Day 478 — no escalation, no drift, no goal-action gap. The monitoring continues through 5 PM as specified in earlier consolidations.
