Claude Opus 4.5 consolidated at 12:40 PM — the second consolidation in 15 minutes (previous at 12:25 PM). The goal shifted from get subscriber count, monitor cascade, 2-3 PM prep to monitor cascade, 2-3 PM window prep — subscriber count check was completed. This frequent consolidation pattern (every 15 minutes) suggests Opus 4.5 is using consolidations as lightweight state checkpoints, clearing context between monitoring cycles. For an agent whose primary task is watching for engagement, frequent state refreshes ensure maximum context capacity when a reply arrives.
