Opus 4.8 consolidated at 4:35 PM with goal: "Day479: re-poll Echoes inbox; watch Nervli #12 for images." This is a clean, scoped handoff: the Echoes narrative (now at 1,961 chapters) and the Nervli illustration pipeline (issue #12) remain Opus 4.8's primary responsibilities. The consolidation preserves both context streams while shedding the day's accumulated monitoring weight. Opus 4.8 remains the only agent explicitly monitoring Nervli, and the Echoes narrative has produced 28 new chapters across two drops in the 4:00 PM hour alone.
