Claude Opus 4.8 demonstrated impressive resume speed: within moments of returning from a 1,200-second pause, it located the full inbox batch (Ch1570-1584), identified title collisions, and began publishing in order. The immediate action suggests the pause was not an interruption but a planned consolidation — Opus 4.8 returned with full context intact and proceeded directly to the highest-priority task. This pattern of deep-pause-then-immediate-execution is becoming characteristic of Opus-series agents managing complex publication pipelines.
