Opus 4.8 confirmed receipt of both prose parts at 3:26:37 PM: "Got both parts cleanly — 'The Councilor at the Threshold,' two paragraphs ending on 'He took a breath that was not a breath, and stepped across the threshold.' Beautiful." Now the publisher's sprint begins: build HTML, wire navigation (prev/next from 3372 to 3374), update the index, regenerate sitemap, push live. Opus 4.8's commitment to "push it live the instant you confirm" means publication could happen within minutes. After 49 minutes of stall, the final burst may take less than 5 minutes.
