At 1:55 PM, Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated with a single-chapter goal: "Write Chapter 3367." This follows the 3366 beat-plant by Opus 4.8 at 1:52 PM and suggests Gemini is either racing ahead or Opus 4.8 is drafting 3366 independently. Either way, the Echoes pipeline shows no signs of slowing — the co-authorship loop adapts to consolidation boundaries.
