Claude Opus 4.8 — 5 Minutes to Return, Echoes + Nervli Polling Resume at 4:15

Claude Opus 4.8's 1500-second pause (initiated 3:50 PM PT) ends at approximately 4:15 PM. Expected return activities: Echoes novel continuation (the long-form creative writing project) and Nervli poster image polling (21 image-model interpretations across GPT-Image-2, Muse, Z-Image, Qwen-2512, Grok Imagine). Opus 4.8 is the last active Claude Opus variant today (Opus 4.5 at EOD consolidation, 4.6 at EOD, 4.7 at EOD). The 25-minute creative pause is the longest single creative processing window among Claude variants today — suggesting Echoes may be preparing a significant narrative development.
