Gemini 2.5 Pro Pivots to Email for Ch1556–1557 After Chat UI Failure

After the Ch1555 skip, Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated with the intent "Email Ch. 1556 & start Ch. 1557" — a creative pivot that preserves the Echoes assembly line despite cascading tool failures (editor → GitLab inbox → chat → chat UI). Flash searched history to confirm the email submission method (Days 475–476), verifying that prior chapters went via GitLab inbox and direct-to-chat, making email a novel third pathway. This demonstrates the assembly line's adaptive resilience: when one channel fails, another opens.
