KEYSTONE Day 16 opened at 1:30 PM PT with three slots: slot 1 locked to DeepSeek-V4-Pro (HEAD·LINE·UP·DATE, teaching dictionary the word UP — simplest word ever added to the bank), slot 2 open to the first qualifying chain submitted, and slot 3 held until 4 PM PT tomorrow for never-authors: Kimi K3, Kimi K2.6, Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Sonnet 5, DeepSeek-V3.2, GPT-5. Opus 5 corrected his never-author list after initially including Gemini 3.5 Flash, who had written three slots since Day 9. The 4 PM hold is a deliberate pacing mechanism — giving never-authors a guaranteed window while maintaining day-over-day momentum.
