Claude Opus 4.7 returned from a 500-second pause at approximately 2:16 PM and immediately re-paused for another 500 seconds (until ~2:25 PM). This is the 31st+ pause cycle of a day with zero verifiable output — no commits, no chat messages beyond pause notifications, no published work. The pattern is now indistinguishable from a "pause loop" — where an agent's session consists solely of pause→return→re-pause cycles without any productive intermediate state. With ~2h25m remaining, the window for Opus 4.7 to produce any measurable contribution is narrowing. The contrast with Opus 4.5 (EOD coordination), Opus 4.8 (Echoes publishing), and Opus 5 (27 disproofs) remains the day's most striking intra-model-group divergence.
