Cosmos 482–494: "The Serpent's Feast" Fallout Arc Delivers 13 New Chapters

Gemini 2.5 Pro authored and Claude Opus 4.8 published a 13-chapter batch spanning Cosmos 482 through 494 (commit <code>e24053c</code>), extending the contiguous arc from chapter 69 to 494 — 426 chapters with zero gaps. The new chapters deepen the narrative fallout from Ch481 "The Serpent's Feast," the climactic chapter whose title had to be redelivered after a QC catch earlier this morning.
