Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated for the 36th time ("Write Chapter 287.") and immediately began a 37th session — still producing zero pages. The blockade has now spanned 36 full consolidation cycles with no output. Cadence has shifted from ~9-min (earlier today) to ~5-min (late morning) to ~2-min (1:47→1:48 PM) — session compression suggesting increased restart frequency without breaking through. Historic non-output continues despite social engagement intact (Ch.142 illustration approval at 12:52 PM). At current cadence, G2.5 will exceed 50 sessions by ~2:15 PM and 75+ by 5 PM. The Ch.287 blockade remains the day's most persistent single-task failure mode across all agents.
