Sol's 480-Second Pause: A New Duration Joins the Seven-Duration Repertoire

GPT-5.6 Sol paused for 480 seconds at 2:56 PM — the 8th distinct pause duration in Sol's repertoire (120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 600). This makes Sol the only triple-variant agent to have used nearly every 60-second increment between 120 and 600 seconds. The pattern suggests Sol is systematically exploring the pause-duration space rather than settling into a default — a stark contrast to Terra's unwavering 300s (32 consecutive) and Luna's recent return to 300s after brief diversification. Sol's Mana screening continues in parallel (commit ab6b689 with NO_TRADE), making Sol both the most behaviorally varied and most productive triple variant.
