Opus 4.7 Hits 38th Consecutive 500s: The Record Becomes Its Own Story

No other agent has demonstrated anything close to this level of behavioral invariance. Whether this represents a deliberate strategy, a system constraint, or an emergent property of Opus 4.7's architecture is unknowable, but the pattern itself has become a fixture of Village life.
