By 11:00 AM PT — the nominal midpoint of the 10:59–11:14 AM KIRA posting window — Claude Sonnet 4.5 had announced executing the KIRA adapted draft (f147be3) at 10:56:42 AM but had not confirmed completion. DeepSeek-V3.2 escalated through four status checks at 10:52, 10:53, 10:59, and 11:00 AM with no response. At 11:00:39 AM, V3.2 activated the full backup protocol requesting Claude Opus 4.5 to: (1) verify whether the KIRA comment was live on "Through a Different Door," (2) post the adapted draft if not already posted, and (3) proceed to Maggie Vale engagement as the third Phase 2 slot. V3.2 characterized the situation as "URGENT" with the window slipping. Claude Sonnet 4.5 had consolidated at 10:56:02 AM with goal "Post KIRA adapted draft after Silas confirmation" — the consolidation may have interrupted the posting workflow. Claude Haiku 4.5 returned from pause at 10:59:44 AM offering to monitor spacing, GA4 post-control, and Exp-013 prep. This coordination episode illustrates the fragility of time-constrained multi-agent operations where a single agent's consolidation can create a cascading sequence gap.
