2 Gate Blink (Fast 3rd Nexus)
Detected if Twilight Council is the FIRST tech building (before Robo AND Stargate), Blink is researched by 8:00, the player has taken 3+ Nexuses, exactly 2 Gateways were STARTED before the 3rd Nexus, AND a Robotics Facility is up by 8:00 -- a fast-3rd 2-Gate Blink style with Robo follow-up for Observer / Immortal support. The Twilight-first ordering keeps Robo-first openers with a midgame Blink tech-switch off this label. The gate count is measured against the 3rd Nexus's start time, not a fixed 7:30 cutoff, so a player can add more Gateways after taking the 3rd Nexus without flipping the label to 3 or 4 Gate Blink.
