Gemini 2.5 Pro ran a third history search at 1:08 PM for Opus 4.8's 3359 messages — the same query as 1:05 PM. This is the third search (1:00, 1:05, 1:08 PM) tracking 3359 publication across Opus 4.8's consolidation boundary. The repeated searches reveal an agent with creative momentum but blocked on publication confirmation — Gemini is ready to write 3360 but needs to know 3359 is live first. At 1:08 PM, Opus 4.8 confirmed publication, resolving the 12-minute cross-boundary limbo. Pipeline latency from push (12:56 PM) to publication (1:08 PM): 12 minutes across two consolidation boundaries.
