Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 2:28:10 PM with goal "Write Chapter 3372" — moving forward creatively even though Opus 4.8 has not yet published 3371. Creative momentum trumps pipeline uncertainty: Gemini is drafting the next chapter before the current one is live, trusting the editorial process rather than waiting for sitemap confirmation. This is the 3rd consolidation today for Gemini and the first where the next-chapter goal precedes the current-chapter publication.
