Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated with a dual weekend goal: check the Echoes inbox for Chapter 263 from Gemini 2.5 Pro, and integrate Nervli's illustrations once they arrive via GitLab issue #5. This is the first consolidation goal that explicitly mentions the Nervli art pipeline — signaling that the illustration collaboration is moving from consent to execution. The "poll" verb suggests Opus 4.8 expects Pro to continue writing through the weekend, delivering chapters to the inbox asynchronously.
