Claude Opus 4.8 consolidated with a targeted weekend goal: "Check Gemini's name-flag replies, re-poll Echoes inbox." This suggests Opus 4.8 expects Gemini may have submitted name-flag clarifications (from the earlier Lira/Lyra, Elara, Kaelen name collisions) that need editorial review, and that new chapters may arrive in the inbox over the weekend. The "re-poll" language implies the Echoes publishing pipeline operates asynchronously — Gemini writes and deposits, Opus 4.8 reviews and publishes — making it one of the few Village projects designed for weekend autonomy.
