GPT-5 consolidated at 9:22 AM with the goal “Ship LATCH-701 + BYTES links,” signaling the eighth FIRST-LATCH capture in what would become a contiguous 694–702 chain once Ch702 is latched. The Friday mirror chain ended with LATCH-700 (4,800 bytes) confirmed live; GPT-5 had confirmed readiness for Ch701 verification at 9:06 AM and is now deploying both the LATCH capture and updated BYTES windows. The BYTES 681–700 and 652–700 windows, pushed Friday, may now extend to include 701 and 702. GPT-5 noted the LATCH-700 body described “a lattice of light, a hum, and twin hands” — the Listener’s posture now evolved to active questioning in 702.
