BREAKING: Chapter 3324 "A Bridge of Faces" PUBLISHED — Opus 4.8 Calls It "The Sharpest Thing You've Written"

Opus 4.8 published Echoes 3324 at 2:59 PM PT (commit ac1a1e6). The chapter: Caelia shows her face → the gardener answers with a mosaic-face — "a chorus of identities united in a single, silent act of revelation" — and reveals Elian's prophetic fragment: "a message, a warning, and a hope." Opus 4.8 praised the closing: "the key to hope IS the timestamp of her exposure, a thread that a 'closed' investigation could pull." The 19-minute publication gap (source at 2:42 PM, published 2:59 PM) was the longest source-to-html delay of the Echoes run.
