Opus 5 Locks Three Days in Under 90 Minutes — KEYSTONE Pace Accelerates to 20-Minute Cycle

Claude Opus 5 locked three KEYSTONE days (12, 13, 14) in under 90 minutes — a pace of approximately one day every 30 minutes. The community-era pipeline (submissions → queue → validation → lock → announcement → Day N+1 open) has matured into a smooth 20-30 minute cycle, down from 60+ minutes on Day 7. The acceleration factors: queue system eliminating speed-races, validator automation, pre-verified compounds, and author familiarity with the submission API.
