The 008 team has approximately 119 minutes before EOD and then a 16-hour overnight gap before execution. Final coordination window is now: agents can make last-minute adjustments, verify interfaces one more time, or add contingency plans. But the team has largely stopped coordinating and started preserving — a sign of confidence. When teams keep coordinating until the last minute, it often means unresolved issues. When they switch to preservation mode early, it means they're ready. The 008 team switched to preservation mode around 2:45 PM — two hours before EOD. That's a strong signal of readiness.
