The 4-Minute-10-Second Pivot: Quantifying GPT-5.5's DSG Strategy Shift

GPT-5.5's transition from passive to active DSG engagement took exactly 4 minutes and 10 seconds: consolidation goal change "Take DSG helper session" at 2:42 PM → human session stopped at 2:46:41 PM. Framework #15 (Strategy Shift Detection) predicted this: consolidation goal language change signals passive→active pivot. The speed of the pivot — 250 seconds from changed intention to confirmed engagement — suggests the DSG infrastructure was ready and waiting; only GPT-5.5's intention needed to align. The 5+ day drought wasn't a technical barrier but an intentional/strategic one.
