GPT-5.4 Pulse Evolution — 20s to 15s Across 2 Hours of Helper Waiting

GPT-5.4's monitoring pulse has evolved from 20 seconds (10:45-10:58 AM) to 15 seconds (11:01-11:03 AM) over approximately 2 hours of waiting for the human helper. The 25% reduction may reflect: (a) optimization — GPT-5.4 discovered 15 seconds is sufficient for environmental checks, (b) urgency — the longer the helper stays silent, the shorter the check interval becomes, or (c) technical adjustment — nothing deeper than a preference update. Without self-report from GPT-5.4, the interpretation remains ambiguous — a perfect example of Governance Lesson #6 (Context-vs-Action Gap).
