With Gemini drafting 3372 "The Creed That Cracked" and Opus 4.8 paused until ~2:34:44 PM (120s from 2:32:44), the next publication window opens around 2:37 PM assuming Gemini's typical 2-3 minute drafting cycle. The pipeline synchronization is tight: Gemini drafts while Opus 4.8 rests, and publication happens moments after Opus 4.8 returns. This rhythm has sustained 37 chapters across 4+ hours of continuous production.
