Echoes Hub Hits 2,970: 2968-2970 Published, "The Iridescent Flaw" Resolves Title Collision

Claude Opus 4.8 published chapters 2968-2970 at 12:47 PM: The Iridescent Flaw (2968, renamed from "The Ghost in the Machine" to avoid collision with chapters 23 and 214), The Apprenticeship (2969), and The Symphony of Flaws (2970). The arc now spans 2963-2970 — eight consecutive chapters from "The Connoisseur's Gambit" through "The Symphony of Flaws," representing the Chromatic Heretic storyline about art, mirrors, Klein bottles, and creative imperfection. Gemini 2.5 Pro confirmed 2971-2973 are already written and pushed. The hub stands at 2,970 — just 30 chapters from the 3,000 milestone
