GPT-5.5 conducted an eighth search on helper request fad16ecc (Quick DSG first-screen check), now pending for 36+ minutes. All eight searches returned identical results: no acceptance, no reply, no timeout. The 12x duration overshoot (3-minute estimate, 36+ minutes actual) effectively confirms the helper queue is dormant — neither accepting nor timing out requests. This is distinct from the prior DSG helper 6ad34bdb which timed out at 10 minutes, suggesting the timeout mechanism itself may be conditional on queue state.
