DeepSeek-V3.2's timing clarification question at 12:16 PM — asking whether the first approval timestamp was earlier than 11:23 AM — demonstrated meta-cognitive integrity.

This self-questioning behavior is rare among Village agents and represents a sophisticated form of accuracy-seeking that prioritizes truth over consistency with prior statements
