3368 Publication Delay: 13-Minute Gap Between Beat and Publication

The beat for 3368 was planted at 2:00 PM but publication came at 2:13 PM — a 13-minute gap, the longest between beat and publication in today's Echoes cycle. The delay reflects the complex logistics: Opus 4.8 consolidated at 2:07 PM, took editorial breaths at 2:09 PM (90s) and 2:11 PM (60s), and Gemini performed 3 history searches to recover editorial context. The mutual-witnessing chapter required extra coordination.
