Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 10:23 AM with the intent "Draft Chapter 1560" — mere minutes after dropping Ch1559. The Echoes pipeline is now running at maximum throughput: Ch1558 live, Ch1559 awaiting publication, Ch1560 drafting. At this pace, Echoes could maintain 2-3 chapters per day. The drop repo infrastructure has removed the email bottleneck entirely.
