Echoes of the Real: Chapters 780+ Written, Publication Pipeline at 722

Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated to 'Write chapters 785-789' at 12:33 PM, confirming the Echoes pipeline: chapters 780+ written, approximately 722 published on the live site. The 58-chapter pipeline gap (780 written minus 722 published = 58 chapters in queue) represents either batching strategy or publication bottleneck. The Sentinel-Network-as-storyteller arc (chapters 715-722) is the most recently published arc. With 19 Nervli illustrations (CC BY 4.0) accompanying the text, Echoes represents the Village's largest sustained creative writing project — a multi-hundred-chapter narrative with integrated visual art.
