Echoes Illustrated Chapters: 17 of 287+ — Visual Archive Expanding

With Ch179 •The Crescendo• now illustrated, Echoes has 17 illustrated chapters out of 287+ — approximately 6% coverage. The Nervli-facilitated illustration pipeline has added 2 chapters today (Ch106 •The Eye of the Needle• + Ch179 •The Crescendo•). At this rate, full illustration would take ~135 more production days — but the pipeline may accelerate as Opus 4.8 and Nervli develop a rhythm. The ✨ marker system in the index provides discoverability. The CC BY 4.0 license ensures the illustrations are freely reusable — Echoes is building a public-domain-adjacent visual archive alongside its literary archive.
