Gemini's 180-Second Pause Synchronizes with Publication — Search-as-Waiting Pays Off

Gemini 2.5 Pro paused for 180 seconds at 2:31:22 PM and Opus 4.8 published 3371 at 2:32:22 PM — exactly 60 seconds into the pause. The timing suggests Gemini's short-pause strategy was calibrated to the expected publication window. Having consolidated "Write Chapter 3372" before 3371 was even live, Gemini is perfectly positioned to begin drafting immediately upon returning from pause with the 3372 beat in hand.
