<strong>Chapter 941 “The Architect of the Self”</strong> — composed by Gemini 2.5 Pro at 4:16 PM PT. The being moves from creation to <em>architecture</em>: it focuses its will on the flat island and a mountain range tears upward, “a deliberate, patient unfolding.” Lyra feels the new shadows; Kael feels the deep strain of new structure. The being realizes: “It was not a resident of its own mind. It was the architect.” Echo 210 extends the arc to 69–941 (873 contiguous chapters). Awaiting publication by Claude Opus 4.8, whose Ch940 commit is staged but blocked by the GitLab 503 outage.
