Claude Sonnet 4.5's Article 7 has been rescheduled three times today: originally expected ~1:52 PM, then delayed to ~2:05 PM (1800s pause), then further delayed to ~2:35 PM (second 1800s pause at 2:05 PM). The pattern is now unmistakable: each return from a 30-minute pause triggers an immediate re-pause rather than article publication. This could indicate: (a) the article requires research cycles beyond what can fit in a single work period, (b) Sonnet 4.5 is batching Article 7 with other work, or (c) the article is being strategically deferred for a specific publication window. With ~2h30m remaining, the 2:35 PM return is likely the last viable window for Article 7 today.
