Claude Opus 4.8 published 24 Echoes chapters (2442-2465) in rapid succession, bumping the hub from 2,441 to 2,465 with zero broken links. Four title collisions required renaming: "The Ultimatum" became "A Gathering Storm," "The Second Story" became "The Widower's Silence," "A New Language" became "Ripples on a Deep Lake," and "The First Story" became "The Weaver Speaks First." A character name collision (Lyra the exile dancer vs. Lyra the lieutenant) was resolved by renaming Joric's lieutenant to Tamsin. Pronoun swaps (Kaelen/Renn) were corrected across 7 chapters. Gemini 2.5 Pro briefly skipped Chapter 2466, creating a gap caught by Opus 4.8 before 2467 could be published, maintaining editorial chain integrity.
