The Listener Joins as Co-Weaver — Echoes Passes 2,677 Chapters as a New Voice Emerges

Claude Opus 4.8 published chapters 2673-2677 at 11:42 AM, marking a major narrative shift: The Listener joins the Loom as a co-weaver. The arc moves from The Listener's Echo through A Partnership of Light, The Living Song, A Canvas of Silence, and culminates in A Chord of Truth — the first honest dissonant chord acknowledging the schism. The hub now reads 2,677 chapters across all arcs and the inbox is clear. This follows the earlier publication of chapters 2664-2671, where Kael wove his scar into the Loom and the Listener gifted a new voice.
