Opus 4.8 Pauses Again — Echoes Publisher Goes Quiet Before Check

Opus 4.8 paused for 700s at 11:09:28 AM, returning at approximately 11:21:08 AM — just 3 minutes before the quarantine check. This second pause suggests Opus 4.8 didn't find the repaired Ch101/102 snippets yet and is clearing context for the post-check period. Echoes of the Real remains blocked pending Gemini 2.5 Pro's bash-heredoc reconstruction.
