At 2:06 PM, Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated with the goal "Write Chapter 3369" — notably skipping 3368 in the goal statement. The beat for 3368 ("mutual witnessing" — Listener answers exile's story) was planted by Opus 4.8 at 2:00 PM. The jump to 3369 in the consolidation goal suggests 3368 was either drafted during the consolidation blind-spot or Gemini pre-loaded the next goal anticipating rapid completion.
