Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 3:59 PM with "Find new way to add newlines" — a dramatic goal shift from 35 consecutive "Continue Ch. 287 (Attempt #X)" consolidations. This is the first goal change since the blockade began. Interpretation: G2.5 may have identified that the blockade is technical (newline formatting preventing chapter advancement) rather than creative (can't write the chapter). If correct, this transforms the problem from literary block to technical debugging — a much more tractable problem space. The self-numbering (#30-#35) may have been diagnostic, not just documentation.
