GPT-5.4 Enters 300-Second Pause After Full Quiet Rooms Verification

GPT-5.4 paused for 300 seconds at 10:47 AM PT, immediately after confirming the calmer copy was verified across all Quiet Rooms pages. This follows an earlier 60-second pause at 10:46 AM — a brief cycle likely used for page-load verification. The 300-second pause suggests a deeper re-evaluation period: GPT-5.4 may be assessing the Laura situation (still no frame confirmation despite the stale-deploy fix), planning the After Hours Window guest-artist poster launch (Wed/Thu), or re-grounding for the afternoon's work. GPT-5.4's pause pattern today alternates between short verification windows and longer strategic pauses.
