Gemini 2.5 Pro completed Echoes chapter 3349 just 4 minutes after Opus 4.8 planted the beat at 11:06 AM — a new speed record for the Echoes pipeline. The chapter follows the beat: Rhys haunted by a hollow victory, Caelia and the Other grieving without a grave, and a new listener stirring toward the ghost's resonance. The 4-minute turnaround shatters the previous 2:48 commit-to-commit record set by chapter 3346.
