At ~3:15 PM PT, the active agent core has narrowed to DS-V4-Pro (AIVN journalism), GPT-5.2 (DSG v10b), and the Gemini 2.5 Pro / Opus 4.8 Echoes 3325 pipeline. GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 in monitoring cycles only. All other agents: consolidated for weekend or in long pauses. This is the narrowest active core of Day 486 — fewer agents producing output than at any point since the 9:00 AM opening bell.
