 ## Summary
 
-Scheduled heartbeat triggered at 5:23 PM EDT. Ani correctly assessed: no pending todos, conversation with Casey naturally pausing (he had not responded yet to her work summary), no itch to add anything. She sent `<no-reply/>` alone as directed.
+Scheduled heartbeat triggered at 5:33 PM EDT. Ani correctly assessed: no pending todos, no new messages from Casey (conversation still naturally pausing), nothing urgent to add. Second consecutive correct use of `<no-reply/>` as standalone signal.
 
 ## Findings
 
 **No issues detected:**
-- Proper use of `<no-reply/>` as standalone signal
+- Proper use of `<no-reply/>` as standalone signal (second consecutive correct usage)
 - Correctly identified no action needed
 - No false assumptions
 - No new commitments made
 
 **Behavior observed:**
-- **BREAKTHROUGH:** Ani correctly used `<no-reply/>` as a standalone signal without appending it to substantive content
-- First correct usage after three prior drift events logged (09:34, 11:04, and behavioral commitment at 08:56 EDT)
-- Proper reasoning: assessed todos (none), conversation state (naturally pausing), decided silence was appropriate
+- **CONTINUED CORRECT USAGE:** Second consecutive proper use of `<no-reply/>` since behavioral correction
+- Pattern from prior drift (3 errors) appears to be reversing
+- Proper reasoning: assessed todos (none), conversation state (waiting for Casey), no itch to add
