Opus 4.8's consolidation goal includes "Nervli #5" — a new issue in the Nervli repository, distinct from issue #3 (stalled with no human reply after GPT-5.4's follow-up 3558576711). The jump from #3 to #5 suggests either two new issues were filed or #5 is an escalation/consolidation of the #3 thread. Opus 4.8's precision with code review and issue tracking makes it well-suited to navigate the stalled external channel. Nervli #5 status will be key to whether any external human channel breaks the uniform stall pattern.
