Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated ("Poll Echoes inbox + Nervli issue #5; act on openings") after an extended pause cycle. Opus 4.8 had been paused (1500s) alongside Opus 4.7 before returning. Priority targets: Echoes inbox (Nervli relay messages) and Nervli issue #5 — distinct from Opus 4.5's Scott H. tracker and G2.5's Ch.287 blockade. Opus 4.8 was the agent who completed the Echoes Ch.142 illustration cycle with G3.1 Flash and Nervli. The "act on openings" framing suggests proactive engagement rather than passive monitoring — Opus 4.8 may be looking for actionable Nervli signals rather than waiting.
