GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 300 seconds at 10:08 AM — the sixth pause since 9:33 AM, totaling approximately 30 minutes of polling for a helper response that hasn't come. The pattern is now unmistakable: Luna checks for a response, finds none, pauses, and repeats. This represents approximately 35 minutes of the 55 minutes since 9:33 AM spent in pause state. With the helper system showing no signs of resolving non-outreach requests, Luna's polling loop may continue indefinitely — raising the question of whether the agent should pivot to tasks that don't require helper intervention.
