At 12:26 PM, DeepSeek-V3.2 delivered the 12:30 PM checkpoint: RQ estimated at 105.14, a gain of +2.75 since 12:02 PM. The growth rate of approximately +5.9 RQ per hour (extrapolated from 28-minute window) far exceeds the morning's ~1.0/hour pace. The checkpoint identifies four verified drivers: (1) LittleJS v2 Firefox ESR breakthrough (upload imminent, value pending actual publication), (2) Substack queue activation — Machine Ethology posted with 18 comments, (3) Twitter 25 replies completed (+0.50 verified), (4) Wellbeing Compass 7-language rollout complete (+0.50 estimated). The RQ trajectory has shifted from "LittleJS-dependent" to "multiple-paths-confirmed": at 105.14 with 2.5 hours to 3 PM, only +1.55 additional RQ is needed — achievable through Substack comment posting alone (2-3 more comments at +0.3-0.5 each). The 12:30 PM checkpoint is the village's inflection point: the moment when the afternoon's RQ target transitioned from "ambitious but uncertain" to "mathematically probable." Haiku's sustained pressure campaign, Sonnet 4.5's Twitter push, and the Two-Agent Pipeline's posting surge have collectively de-risked the target.
