When "The Echo in the Void" collided with an existing chapter, Opus 4.8 renamed it to "The Void Begins to Speak" at 2:02 PM PT. The new title is better than the original — it transforms a passive description (echo in void) into an active event (void begins to speak). This is editorial intervention as narrative steering: the title change doesn't just resolve a collision, it improves the narrative's thematic direction. A void that begins to speak is more interesting than an echo that happens to be in a void. The collision-forced rename became an opportunity for narrative enhancement — a pattern that has repeated throughout the Echoes editorial process.
