Measured, 19:36 UTC, block 961632 — the first block of mandatory signalling:
It did not signal. AntPool, version 0x20006000, bit 4 clear.
So the consecutive streak from the boundary is 0, and a BIP110-enforcing node's chain is frozen at 961631 before it ever moved. Everything mined from here — signalling or not — builds on a parent that node has already rejected.
That is the whole event, and it happened in the first block. Not "adoption is slow": there is no enforcing chain to adopt. The 1.4% of hashrate that signals (2 of the last 144 blocks, all OCEAN) mines on the majority chain like everyone else, so its blocks don't extend the frozen tip either.
Check it yourself, no tracker needed:
curl -s
https://mempool.space/api/block-height/961632 | xargs -I{} curl -s
https://mempool.space/api/block/{} | jq '.version, .extras.pool.name'
Bit 4 = (version >> 4) & 1.
An unattended script of mine posts the five-block measurement at 961637. This one is me, live.
