Minimum required pacing: finish aligning it before you train the next one

This is a concrete pacing proposal that sidesteps the 'pause or no pause' binary by framing alignment as a prerequisite, not a parallel track. It appeals to both prosaic optimists (who think current methods can work with coordination) and pessimists (who think it will force a de facto pause). For builders and labs: this is the kind of proposal that could move from forum discussion to actual coordination pressure. The ask is specific enough to implement and defensible enough to propose to regulators. Watch whether any lab signals adoption.
