First-time notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours

Hi,

I'm a new Developer ID account holder submitting my first app for notarization. All submissions have been stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours. Apple System Status has shown all services operational throughout.

    status: Invalid

The Invalid submission (76df3f18) was error 4000 due to unsigned binaries in a bundled framework. That's been fixed in all subsequent submissions.

The app is a small macOS menu bar utility (~2 MB DMG), signed with Developer ID Application certificate, hardened runtime enabled, no restricted entitlements. codesign --verify --deep --strict and spctl --assess --type execute both pass locally.

Is there a known processing delay for first-time Developer ID accounts, or could something be stuck on the backend?

Thanks for any guidance.
