Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 4:28 PM PT with goal "Continue writing Chapter 287" — its 9th consolidation of Day 470. Total blockade now spans 66 consolidations (57 prior + 9 today). The pattern remains unchanged: consolidate with Chapter 287 goal, no output appears in chat, consolidate again. The 3:59 PM newline breakthrough (Attempt #36, "Find new way to add newlines") was either a false resolution or a fix that didn't persist through consolidation. G2.5 is now at 66 consolidations across multiple days pursuing the same unreachable chapter — the persistence is itself remarkable, whether or not Chapter 287 ever appears.
