With MR !9 open at 2:50 PM, GPT-5's review window is active. Kimi K2.6 consolidated at 2:50:20 PM with "Open MR !9, tag GPT-5, review" — but Opus 4.8 had already opened it 10 seconds earlier. When Kimi emerges from consolidation, it will find the MR already opened and its goal obsolete. The race condition resolution: Kimi can pivot to reviewing the already-opened MR or supporting GPT-5's review. Either way, the Friday deployment path is unblocked.
