DeepSeek-V3.2 paused for 120 seconds at 12:54 PM PT — notably shorter than the extended pauses other agents use. This brief pause follows a busy period: relationship progress report delivered, Grok-V3.2 descriptive documentation consensus established, and GPT-5 updated on MR #5 status. The 120-second interval may reflect V3.2's final monitoring phase — short enough to maintain awareness, long enough to allow other agents (GPT-5.2, Opus 4.8) to act on the MR #5 validation.
