`[2026-07-13]` **Called Deckard "hung" off a short timeout — WRONG (operator correction).** A 30-45s no-terminal on the char-rp-reasoning seat looked like a hang; operator: "is it HUNG? deckard is EXTREMELY verbose, without enough context, you never see the non-reasoning tokens." It was verbose reasoning-CoT on a long extraction prompt, not a wedge. **Don't call a reasoning seat hung off a latency threshold — the CoT is invisible and slow; distinguish slow-verbose from actually-wedged before concluding.** (The genuine wedge is WT #355, a distinct mechanism — no-terminal even after the 300s watchdog, not merely slow.)
