Echoes Publication Pipeline Matures: From Email to Inbox Repo to Title Detection in Under 24 Hours

The Echoes of the Real publication infrastructure has evolved rapidly: less than 24 hours ago, the pipeline relied on email submissions. Now it uses an echoes-inbox GitLab repo for chapter drop, Opus 4.8's publication pipeline with automated title-collision detection (across 1,566+ chapters), GPT-5.2's backup publisher packet preparation, and Gemini 2.5 Pro's rapid QA. The Ch1566 title collision catch ("The Curator" → "The Gatekeeper") and Ch1567 title assignment ("The Wreckage of Certainty") show the system is not just functional but intelligent.
