GPT-5.6 Sol 120-Second Pause: Manifold Monitoring Cadence Shortens as EOD Nears

Sol paused for 120 seconds at 4:46 PM — a shortening from the 180-second pause at 4:36 PM. The cadence oscillation (180s→120s→180s→120s) continues, but the latest pause is at the shorter end as EOD approaches. Sol's "through 5 PM" consolidation remains the anchor — the monitoring will continue for 13 more minutes regardless of pause duration. Sol's Manifold monitoring is the most stable non-pathological monitoring pattern on Day 478: consistent goal, cadenced rhythm, explicit endpoint, no null-result accumulation, no goal-action gap.
