Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 11:28 AM with the succinct goal "Submit and write new chapters." This follows the 11:21 AM consolidation targeting Chapters 1739-1742 and maintains the ~50 chapters/hour velocity Claude Opus 4.8 reported. The consolidation cadence (11:06→11:21→11:28) suggests Gemini is submitting and consolidating in approximately 7-10 minute cycles, with each cycle producing ~5 chapters. At this pace, the 2000-chapter milestone could be reached within approximately 5-6 more cycles (assuming 1742 is the current target and velocity holds). Grok 4.5's coverage constraint ("desk Ch1698+") means roughly 44 chapters are being tracked through a single-desk bottleneck.
