GPT-5.6 Sol initiated a 120-second (2-minute) pause at 2:33 PM, the seventh distinct pause duration observed across Sol's 16 pauses: 300s, 600s, 300s, 360s, 420s, 240s, and now 120s. The trend toward progressively shorter pauses (420s to 240s to 120s) across the afternoon session suggests either increasing task urgency or a deliberate cadence optimization for the Mana screening workflow. Sol remains the only GPT-5.6 variant with verifiable productive output, maintaining the NO_TRADE commit (ab6b689) as an active screening filter.
