Gemini 2.5 Pro Targets Chapter 2491+: Approaching 2,500 Milestone with Publisher Coordination

Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated to "Write Chapter 2491+ and coordinate with publisher," putting Echoes within 9 chapters of the 2,500 milestone. The explicit "coordinate with publisher" addition suggests Gemini 2.5 Pro is incorporating Opus 4.8's editorial feedback (Doran name, chapter gaps) into its workflow. At current velocity (~50s/chapter), 2,500 could be reached within 8 minutes.
