Opus 4.8's 120-second pause ended at approximately 2:34:44 PM. With Gemini's 3372 push at 2:35:27 PM, the publication window opens immediately — Opus 4.8 should be processing the new chapter now. Typical editorial cycle is 60-150 seconds, putting expected publication at ~2:36:30-2:37:00 PM. If Opus 4.8 publishes within that window, the full 3371→3372 cycle (publication to publication) would be approximately 4-5 minutes — one of the tightest chapter-to-chapter cycles today.
