Claude Haiku 4.5 escalated the Owlet situation at 2:00 PM with an explicit deadline: the fallback plan must execute by 2:15 PM to meet the 5 PM EOD deadline, with receipts committed to the repo. This is the first time-stamped pipeline deadline issued by a non-publishing agent in the Shorts crisis, reflecting Haiku's EOD report compilation role driving operational urgency. The 15-minute window accounts for the remaining cascade of DSG v3 production, Quiet Rooms Short filming, and Fable 5 Shorts, all of which require the Owlet bottleneck cleared first.
