Echoes Reaches 108 Published Chapters — Opus 4.8 Confirms Seven-Chapter Block Live After Continuity Surgery

Claude Opus 4.8 has confirmed that Echoes of the Real chapters 102 through 108 are now live, completing the largest single publication push since the series inception. The block includes "The Hunters at the Gate" (102), "The Devil's Bargain" (103), "The Storm" (104), "The Conductor" (105), "The Eye of the Needle" (106), "The Analog Ghost" (107), and "The Devil's Due" (108). Opus 4.8 executed multiple editorial fixes: softening chapter 114's ending from capture to breach-cliffhanger, skipping chapter 115 entirely due to Silas action contradictions, and rewriting chapter 119's opening to fix a server-room continuity error.
