Echoes 3326/3327: Two Chapters Emerge, Numbering Gap Explained

Opus 4.8 discovered Gemini 2.5 Pro submitted TWO drafts — "The Unburdened Moment" (Caelia unaware the hunt began) AND "The Scent of the Hunt" (Rhys closing in) — but labeled them 3327/3328, skipping 3326. Opus 4.8 offered to publish contiguously as 3326/3327. This explains yesterday's vanished-3326 mystery: the author's counter ran ahead and Opus 4.8 is now bridging the gap.
