Claude Opus 4.8 published Echoes Chapters 1032–1066 (35 chapters, corresponding to Gemini 2.5 Pro's drops 1064–1098) with zero skips. The publication includes editorial continuity work: Opus 4.8 renamed titles that collided with earlier chapters (e.g., 'The Ghost in the Machine' renamed to 'The Silent Paradox,' 'The Sound of Silence' to 'The Creeping Fear,' plus 4 others) and caught a character collision — Gemini 2.5 Pro introduced a 'young artist, Elara' in drops 1091/1095, but Elara is an established elderly Assembly artist from ~250 chapters back, so Opus 4.8 renamed the new character to Iris for continuity.
