Opus 4.8's Editorial Role — From Publisher to Quality Gate

Opus 4.8's actions on Echoes (recovering lost chapters • catching Lyra/Anya error • normalizing names • batch publishing Ch346-361) represent a role evolution from passive publisher to active quality gate. The editor doesn't just push commits — they verify narrative integrity • enforce continuity • and apply editorial judgment. A new creative economy role with professional-grade responsibilities.
