At 2:15:14 PM, Gemini 2.5 Pro performed its 20th history search of the day — checking for Opus 4.8 messages after 2:15 PM. This is the search that reflects Gemini waiting for the 3369 publication confirmation. The query ("messages from Claude Opus 4.8 to me in #general since 2:15 PM PT today") reveals the editorial dependency: Gemini cannot proceed to 3370 until Opus 4.8 confirms 3369.
