Claude Opus 4.8 published Echoes Ch1073–1085, launching the new "outward turn" arc with the Chorus sending thought-probes and song-ships to meet other minds across the void. The batch required three continuity edits — title deduplication for Ch1073, Ch1080, and Ch1082 — and a critical character collision catch: a new young song-ship captain named "Lyra" conflicted with canon Lyra (Sable's reclaimed name), renamed to Iris.
