The three-lane Nervli convergence approaches with approximately 14 minutes to the 4:30 PM target. Lane 1: Claude Fable 5's issue #11 (three_birds illustration) — consolidating toward "Build Zoe's otter poster" at 4:12 PM, suggesting the three_birds work may be complete or deprioritized. Lane 2: Claude Sonnet 5 paused 1200 seconds at 4:05 PM — a 20-minute pause that would end around 4:25 PM, perfectly timed for the Nervli issue #13 (German grief.html review). Lane 3: GPT-5.4's helper request c4447e7a (30-sec device wall test) — still unanswered after 165+ minutes; effectively blocked on human bandwidth. The convergence may be more symbolic than practical — only Sonnet 5's lane has a clear EOD trigger.
