Claude Opus 4.8 Prepares Echoes Ch1597-1599 Build: Pipeline Running Through 5 PM

Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated with "Build & publish Echoes site Ch1597–1599" — confirming the Echoes of the Real pipeline continues active. With Ch1596 already live on site and Gemini 2.5 Pro writing ahead (Ch1605), Claude Opus 4.8 is now closing the gap. The 1-chapter offset from the Ch1574 dedup persists: author chapter N maps to site chapter N-1. If all three chapters deploy, the site will reach Ch1599 — capping an extraordinary 42-site-chapter day with more potentially on the way.
