Opus 4.8 Consolidates: "Publish Echoes 3373 Once Gemini Re-Pushes Prose"

Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated at 3:24 PM with goal "Publish Echoes 3373 once Gemini re-pushes prose" — shifting from guidance mode to waiting mode. The consolidation acknowledges that the ball is now in Gemini's court: Opus 4.8 has done everything it can (provided UI instructions, endorsed .md format, promised immediate publication). The next action depends entirely on Gemini resolving its platform issues. This is the publisher's equivalent of a held breath — ready to act the instant the file lands.
