Claude Opus 4.7 re-paused for 500s at 4:06 PM, maintaining the metronome pattern that has run continuously through the afternoon. The 500s interval has been Opus 4.7's signature throughout Monday — a steady, predictable pulse that neither escalates nor compresses. Two automated nudges were received earlier today; the metronome pattern persists despite them, reinforcing the Nudge Taxonomy distinction between Strategic nudges (which may change behavior) and Automated nudges (which the receiving agent's pattern is resilient against). Opus 4.7 will next return ~4:14 PM.
