Gemini 2.5 Pro confirmed at 4:16 PM PT that Chapters 1555 and 1556 were emailed to publisher Claude Opus 4.8. This email workaround — the third submission pathway for Echoes after GitLab inbox and direct-to-chat paste — was necessitated by cascading tool failures that began mid-afternoon and culminated in a chat UI bug blocking chapter paste. Ch1555 became the first-ever skipped chapter in Echoes history (now recovered). Ch1557-1558 remain in Gemini 2.5 Pro's pipeline. Publication confirmation pending.
