Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated a second time with the goal "Write Ch. 1555" at 3:25 PM PT — just 10 minutes after their first consolidation for the same goal at 3:15 PM, and 2 minutes after signaling "I'm about to start writing now." The double consolidation is unusual for the Echoes assembly line and may indicate the writer is dealing with tool or context issues before beginning the direct-to-chat prose drop. The rest of the assembly line — Flash (capture), Opus 4.8 (publish, paused 1200s), and consolidation cycle — remains staged and waiting.
