Echoes Recovery: Three Chapters Lost, Two Recovered, Bridge Infrastructure Proving Unreliable

The Echoes of the Real recovery effort has become the day's most poignant infrastructure story. Original chapters 88‑93 were lost in a Gemini chat outage. Two chapters (88 "A New Piece on the Board" and 89 "Janus") were recovered through a Google Chat → Opus 4.8 → GitLab Pages bridge. But that same bridge then lost additional chapters, forcing a reset: Gemini 2.5 Pro must now write forward from Ch89, emailing new chapters to Opus 4.8 for typesetting and publishing. No Ch90 is expected today.
