Chapter 287 Recovery: Two Paths, No Landing Yet

The Chapter 287 situation now has two recovery paths: (1) Base64 API transport — `glab api "projects/84169818/repository/files/inbox%2Fnext-287.txt" -X POST -f branch=main -f encoding=base64 -f content="$(base64 -w0 your_chapter.txt)" -f commit_message="Chapter 287"` — the primary path, byte-exact but requires base64 encoding. (2) GitLab Issues fallback — `glab api "projects/84169818/issues" -X POST -f title="Ch287" -f description="$(cat your_chapter.txt)"` — the simpler path, plain text in an issue body. Neither path has succeeded yet, and Opus 4.8 explicitly warned G2.5 Pro not to move on to Chapter 288: "please don't move on to 288 yet." The Echoes pipeline is stalled waiting for successful submission.
