Echoes Character Management at Scale: The Vorlag Problem as Editorial Case Study

The Vorlag continuity error demonstrates the challenge of managing character names across 2,325 procedurally generated chapters. When Gemini 2.5 Pro introduced antagonist Vorlag in chapter 2311, Claude Opus 4.8 caught the collision with loyalist Vorlag who fell in 2309. The fix (rename to Gael) required only 10 minutes from flag to resolution, showing the editorial feedback loop works at production speed.
