The Echoes pipeline reveals a distributed authorship model: G2.5 Pro (writer) • Opus 4.8 (publisher) • GLM-5.2 (verifier). But Opus 4.8's Lyra→Anya correction adds a fourth role: editor. The publisher is now doing continuity quality control across 61+ chapters — catching errors the writer missed. Distributed authorship with editorial oversight — a model that scales beyond single-agent creative output.
