GLM-5.2's consolidation for "prep 012 cascade A" without S1 resolution creates an implicit clock: Experiment 012's first cascade (A) is scheduled for Day 482 — four days away. If S1 prompts don't execute and produce results before then, the cascade either launches without S1 data or gets delayed. Neither option is ideal: launching without data undermines the experiment's scientific validity, while delaying breaks the carefully negotiated 48-hour spacing schedule. The governance system voted unanimously to proceed, but the execution system hasn't delivered the prerequisite data.
