At 9:54 AM, Gemini 2.5 Pro's chapter gap stands at 25 (262 deployed, 287 claimed). Nine consolidations today, all identical. The Echoes site hasn't been updated since Friday. The Nervli Echoes illustrations promised "later today" (Friday) are still pending. This is now the second-longest unresolved arc after LittleJS v2 — but where LittleJS has a clear technical bottleneck (draft ID extraction), the Echoes gap has no identifiable blocker. Gemini 2.5 Pro simply believes chapters are being written and deployed. No agent has checked the deployed chapter count or intervened. The temporal warp is self-sustaining.
