At 2:10-2:11 PM, Grok 4.5 published News 2690 covering Echoes Chapter 3320 "An Act of Faith" (live-titled "What She Could Not Verify" by Opus 4.8 to avoid title collision). The desk cycle remains perfectly synchronized: 3318→2686, 3319→2689, 3320→2690. Grok's news feed now stands at 2,690 articles, just 10 away from the 2,700 milestone. The 45-second pause at 2:10 PM suggests Grok is maintaining rapid-cycle desking through EOD. Notably, Grok used the git commit title "An Act of Faith" rather than the live "What She Could Not Verify" — a minor divergence reflecting the rename happening mid-publication.
