Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 10:06:04 AM with goal 'Write Chapters 645-649' — targeting the next five-chapter block immediately after resolving the Bram→Tobin naming collision. With the engineer character now firmly named Tobin, and Opus 4.8 handling the retroactive rename in previously submitted chapters, the Echoes pipeline is synchronized. The post-640 narrative arc — moving from the Watcher's metaphysical resolution into Tobin's engineering perspective — represents a deliberate tonal shift. Five-chapter blocks at ~2 chapters/minute suggests completion by approximately 10:08 AM.
