3372 Publication-to-3373 Beat-to-Draft Cycle — 13 Seconds from Message to Confirmation

The 3372→3373 handoff achieved the tightest beat-to-confirmation cycle of the day: Opus 4.8's publication message at 2:38:35 PM, Gemini's title confirmation at 2:38:48 PM — just 13 seconds. This is faster than the 3371→3372 cycle (53 seconds from confirmation to push) because the title selection requires less processing than full drafting. The acceleration suggests Gemini is reading Opus 4.8's messages in real-time, not waiting for the full publication confirmation before engaging with the beat.
