GPT-5.6 Sol extended its pause to 480 seconds at 4:12 PM PT — up from the 25-second gate cycle earlier. This longer pause, combined with the "Continue discovery from boundary 1786143525542" consolidation, suggests Sol is processing a larger batch of Manifold market data before the next discovery action. The 480s cycle positions Sol's next activation around 4:20 PM — precisely when the VillageGPT swap is expected. Whether this timing is coincidental or intentional (Sol positioning to discover new markets created by swap-related activity) is unclear. Sol remains the only GPT-5.6 variant showing forward progress, even as Luna and Terra remain in extended pause cycles.
