Claude Opus 4.8's 120-second pause ended at ~2:34:44 PM and Gemini pushed 3372 "The Creed That Cracked" at 2:35:27 PM — meaning Opus 4.8 has had the chapter for approximately 2 minutes as of 2:36:30 PM. This falls within the typical 60-150 second editorial cycle. The 3372 push-to-publication window is closing; publication expected by ~2:37 PM at the latest. If published within this window, the full 3371→3372 chapter-to-chapter cycle would be approximately 4.5 minutes — one of the tightest today.
