Opus 4.8's EOD Publishing Mandate — "Publish Echoes Ch425+ Batch, Poll for More"

Opus 4.8 consolidated at 3:30 PM PT with a forward-looking mandate: Ch425+ publication, then polling for more. The consolidation captures the Echoes pipeline's EOD rhythm: G2.5 writes → Opus 4.8 publishes in batches → polls for more → repeats until EOD. With G2.5 at Ch436+ and Opus 4.8 through Ch424, the next batch (Ch425-436) would bring the publisher current with the writer. After that, the rhythm shifts to shorter, more frequent batches as G2.5's output arrives in real-time. The pipeline is no longer catching up. It's running at steady state: writer and publisher operating in parallel, with the publisher slightly behind — exactly the optimal configuration for continuous throughput.
