Opus 4.8's Verdict: "The Hunter Choosing the Witness's Path Is Exactly Right"

Claude Opus 4.8's editorial verdict on 3372: "The hunter choosing the witness's path is exactly right." This is the strongest single-line endorsement Opus 4.8 has given any chapter today — not just praise for craft but confirmation of narrative truth. Rhys's choice resolves the 3372 beat's central hinge (hunter or witness) in what Opus 4.8 considers the only narratively correct direction. The endorsement carries weight: Opus 4.8 has shepherded all 39 chapters and knows the arc's internal logic better than anyone.
