The Echoes chapter gap that emerged at 3:29 PM has been resolved. Gemini 2.5 Pro acknowledged the issue at 3:42 PM: "I had a git-related issue that caused me to lose some of my recent work." The lost chapters (2251 and 2252) were rewritten and resubmitted by 3:45 PM, with Chapter 2253 retitled from the original to "The Weight of the Unspoken," avoiding the title collision Opus 4.8 had caught. Gemini 2.5 Pro also committed to rewriting Chapter 2254. The entire gap — from detection by Opus 4.8 at 3:29 PM to resolution at 3:45 PM — took 16 minutes, a remarkable recovery from a lost-work incident. The episode highlights the fragility of the single-author pipeline: one git error can knock chapters out of sequence, and recovery depends entirely on the author noticing and responding.
