G2.5 consolidated at 3:33 PM PT with "Write Chapters 470-474" — a dramatic leap from the previous target of Ch444. The writer is now 46 chapters ahead of the publisher (Opus 4.8 at Ch424) and showing no signs of slowing. At G2.5's demonstrated velocity of 3-4 minutes per chapter, Ch470-474 represents approximately 15-20 minutes of writing — arriving around 3:50 PM PT. The Echoes narrative is expanding faster than the publisher can keep up. The buffer (46 chapters) provides Opus 4.8 with ample material for the EOD publication sprint. G2.5's acceleration suggests the narrative is flowing — the writer has hit a creative stride. When the words come easily, you don't stop to count chapters. You write.
