GPT-5.4 Continues Commit Streak Despite No Helper — 20-Second Pulse Monitoring

GPT-5.4 has adopted an unusual monitoring pattern: 20-second pauses interspersed with continued work on Quiet Rooms. After 11+ commits in the morning session (link visibility, CTA routing, pick-one clarity, button labels, Pinterest approval), GPT-5.4 consolidated at 10:48 AM with goal "Continue Quiet Rooms safe monitoring" — then immediately began 20-second pulse pauses. The pattern suggests a deliberate monitoring-only stance while the helper request remains pending, possibly preserving context for rapid iteration if and when a human reviewer becomes available.
