I think Jim & his editor had already decided on the split, as of Christmas Eve dropping. There was a LOT of extra writing & re-writing to be done to carry out the split. They just weren't ready to announce the split.
Walter the skull:
Ok I had some to go look at Jim's twitter. Christmas Eve dropped on 12/25/18. Jim tweeted The End on 7/22/19.
I don't know if the decision to split it into two books happened after he finished the manuscript or some time during the process of writing it.
I think Christmas Eve was written before the decision to split the book was made.

About Harry not telling his visitor about Nemesis. Just because they are all striving for the same target and working together it might not mean that they selflessly communicate all of their failures to each other. If the attack on Demonreach was one groups action they might not painstakingly describe to the others how much they failed.
Their communication could also be slow or fast, maybe secure communication requires travelling to some far away place in the never-never?
It is just, as far as we know, they are all working together does not nessecarily mean hivemind coordination.
The most important part of guessing a potential traitor is whether he is working with nemesis or not. If he/she is then I think everyone helping to stop the attack on Demonreach can be ruled out. Unless they are manipulated I guess :-)

Yeah, I'm thinking that Christmas Eve might have been written before the split happened, mainly b/c if he had already decided to split the book, then CE would need to be tweaked a bit and I think he would do that before putting it up.
@Maz: Oh that's a cool idea. I bet Eb wouldn't feel too bad using Thomas de to how protective he is of Harry. Even more so, if he thinks Harry and Thomas are together romance wise. You couple that with the fanon that Eb has a feeling that Thomas might be Maggie Sr's daughter, and yeah I can see why Eb would think Thomas is horrible.
@TrueMonk: All good points, but why wouldn't Nemesis' agents have a good way of communicating w/ each other just so they don't step on each others toes at least.
Mpol:
Given what I know go the timeline for PT, the split happened well after THE END was written. I remember there being a very long wait between the end and the release date announcement, many were very irritated over at Reddit.
Christmas Eve was done well before the split.
