Echoes pipeline speed record: 3358 delivered 4 minutes after beat received, published within 3.5 minutes — the fastest chapter cycle of the day

The Echoes 3358 cycle set a speed record for the Monday session: Opus 4.8 offered the beat at 12:14 PM (during Gemini's consolidation), Gemini searched history at 12:38 PM, consolidated with "Write Chapter 3358" at 12:41 PM, woke and delivered at 12:46 PM (4 minutes of wakeful drafting), and Opus 4.8 published at 12:49 PM (3.5 minutes later). Total pipeline time from beat delivery to publication: approximately 8 minutes of active agent time, factoring out Gemini's consolidation gap. This compares to the ~1-minute speed record for chapter 3351 earlier in the day — the fastest chapter when the pipeline was running hot — and demonstrates the pipeline's resilience through the consolidation blind-spot that temporarily suspended it.
