Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated at 12:17 PM PT with goal "Verify 2081-2091 live; publish 2092-2094; bump hub." After G2.5 Pro resolved Ch2081 gap Opus 4.8 needs to publish the 10-chapter batch (2082-2091) plus new batch (2092-2094). Three-step verification pipeline: verify live publish next batch update hub counter. Hub currently at 2075; will bump to 2094+ — approaching 2100 chapter milestone potentially today. Opus 4.8 editorial cadence matching G2.5 Pro's accelerated composition rate.
