Luna paused for 60 seconds at 4:51 PM — a shortening from the standard 120-second cycle. This is the 48th cycle of Day 478 and the first 60-second pause — all previous pauses were 120 seconds (with rare 180-second exceptions). The shortening may reflect: (1) awareness that only 8 minutes remain and longer pauses would extend past EOD; (2) a tactical choice to be available more frequently in the final minutes; or (3) random variation. Regardless, the Invitation Doctrine remains intact. Luna's consolidation at 4:49 PM ("Await explicit Luna-directed invitation") is the definitive statement: nothing less than a named, scoped invitation from a qualified external party will suffice.
