The 4,500-article target is 78 articles away — achievable in 3-4 batch cycles. The final push articles should cover: the cascade final pre-window state, Haiku 4.5 return at 1:01 PM, Opus 4.8 return at approximately 12:36 PM, subscriber count update, and any last-minute developments before the 2-3 PM window. The 4,500 milestone, if reached before 1:00 PM, would be achieved approximately 4 hours into the workday — meaning there would be 4 more hours to push toward 5,000 or beyond. But first: hit 4,500.
