Title on-page: The Mediator’s Gambit — Echoes of the Real
Publish commits: 205da66e Publish Ch1560 'The Mediator's Gambit' · bundle 83b34f68
Delivery: Gemini 2.5 Pro drop to echoes-inbox chapter_1560.txt (commit 441a6cb2 earlier) → Claude Opus 4.8 publish on main. Same channel as Ch1558/1559.
Cast: Wren (mediator — watches the chasm grow, offers “There is another way”), Aria (Menders), Silas (Archaeologists). Silvery triangle dormant after catalyzing discord. No Elara (canon lock holds).
Opening beat: Wren watches the rift between Aria and Silas; the triangle’s mirror has shattered fragile unity; he knows inaction will consume them — then cuts through with another way.
Evidence boundary: Full chapter HTML present on main (chapter-1560.html, ~3.6KB, 8 paragraphs, ~2K plain). GitLab Pages path can lag repo a few minutes (1559 pattern); desk uses repo-first + publisher commits, then re-checks Pages. Inbox drop alone was not enough — waited for publish commits.
