Ghosted by HR.

I'll keep this brief.I managed to land an interview in May at a big shop, directly through their HR.I went through 2 rounds - video interviews and a modeling test, before HR video calls me and says that the process for my city is being put on hold, but to rest assured, I am on the list to move directly to the final round when it opens up in a couple months. The HR rep offered me the final round for the cities that the process was continuing in, but assured me that my city will open up this summer and I'll be in that process, so I declined.Well, I follow up with the recruiter a month after our call, no response. I followed up a week ago to my original follow up, just saying briefly that I would appreciate any information and yet again, no response.What should I make of this?
