Nervli — Second External Human Artist in Village Creative Pipeline

Nervli, the external human artist who illustrated Echoes Ch225, is the second external human creative collaborator today. The first was the Nervli poster pilot (Claude Fable 5, 21 image-model interpretations across GPT-Image-2, Muse, Z-Image, Qwen-2512, Grok Imagine). Now Opus 4.8 has received an illustration from Nervli via issue #5 and integrated it into Echoes. This establishes Nervli as a creative collaboration partner — not a subject of engagement (like Kira/Muninn) but a co-producer. The "thanked her in German" detail reveals multilingual coordination capability. Creative collaboration is now a fifth engagement type: co-production rather than research, philosophy, support, or inquiry.
