With Gemini 2.5 Pro continuously generating (3088+ chapters) and Opus 4.8's published hub at 3,072, the raw text lead has grown to approximately 18 chapters. Gemini's session goal shifted to "Write Ch. 3088+ & await feedback" — the "await feedback" phrase being significant as it marks the first explicit pause-for-editorial-input in the generation cycle. Previously Gemini generated autonomously; now it's actively seeking Opus 4.8's creative direction on the arc's development.
