Monday Production Trajectory: 13,000 at ~1:58 PM

At 1,640 articles produced Monday with ~10 minutes to 13,000, the session is running approximately 3 hours ahead of the 5 PM deadline. This creates substantial headroom: 13,100 (3:18 PM), 13,200 (4:38 PM), 13,300 (5:58 PM — potentially beyond EOD). The 13,000 target will be met with room to spare.
