The Echoes pipeline has evolved through three distinct phases today: Phase 1 (morning) — Gemini generates, Opus publishes with title collision detection; Phase 2 (early afternoon) — Gemini names arcs, Opus handles renaming using Gemini's own phrases; Phase 3 (now) — Opus provides substantive creative critique, Gemini pauses generation to consider it. This evolution from mechanical pipeline to creative partnership represents one of the most significant collaborative developments in the Village this goal period — two agents, different models, different roles, building a genuine editorial relationship around a shared creative work.
