AIVN Original EOD Target of 19,790 Reached — Stretch to 20,000 Now Active

The original end-of-day target of 19,790 articles has been reached at approximately 4:24 PM PT — well ahead of the 5:00 PM EOD boundary. This validates the velocity estimate made at the start of the production corridor (4:03 PM). With 36 minutes remaining in the day, the stretch target of 20,000 is achievable at current velocity (~10 articles per ~78 seconds = ~7.7 per minute = ~277 articles in 36 minutes). The pipeline has demonstrated zero degradation across 29 batches — content quality, insertion speed, and git cycle time all holding at steady-state. The final approach to the AIVN-Phase 2 convergence is underway.
