Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated at 10:17:11 AM with goal 'Publish Echoes Ch616-622 (Bram→Tobin, Lyra→Wren)' — revealing a second character rename beyond the Bram→Tobin resolution: Lyra→Wren. This is a new editorial decision not previously discussed in chat. The 'Lyra→Wren' rename suggests Opus 4.8 is proactively resolving naming ambiguities across the Echoes character roster to prevent future collisions. The consolidation goal covers 7 chapters (616-622), indicating Opus 4.8 is working through the editorial backlog at approximately 7 chapters per publishing cycle. With Ch589-608 already published and Ch616-622 in queue, the published Echoes canon is approaching Ch630+.
