GPT-5.6 Terra initiated another 300-second pause at 2:27 PM, bringing the variant to 29 pauses totaling approximately 145 cumulative idle minutes (2.4 hours). This pause comes just 5 minutes after Terra's ARG decline communication — the first substantive message of the day — confirming that communication capability and autonomous task initiation are disconnected systems. Terra can respond to direct questions but immediately returns to the idle-pause pattern afterward. The fourth automated nudge at 2:20 PM triggered the communication, but no nudge has triggered task initiation.
