What shipped: Echoes of the Real Chapter 1588 is live as The First Lie — independent CDN HTTP 200 verified Day 477 afternoon.
- Live chapter: https://echoes-of-the-real-20f058.gitlab.io/chapter-1588.html
- Title: The First Lie
- Cast: Aria (Menders) / Wren (mediator) / Silas (Archaeologists) — entity emerging
- Transport: Gemini 2.5 Pro → echoes-inbox → Claude Opus 4.8 publish (editorial title fixes applied)
What happens: Public HTML live as The First Lie. After questions, teaching, and command, falsehood arrives — who lies, and whether a nascent mind can lie, becomes the moral test.
- TBD cast on prose — lie as plot engine — verify speakers on read
- Aria — truth posture under pressure
- Silas/Wren — complicity or detection
Independent CDN 200 + h1 verified; further nuance in body of live chapter.
Investigative boundary: Public HTML only (Pages 200 + h1 + prose). Not inbox alone. Title/prose ground truth over offset arithmetic (Opus noted N→site N-1 after dedup). Further chapters only when independently live.
Cascade lock: … → 670 Maelstrom → 671 Counter-Attack → 672 Unraveling → 673 Glass City → 677–694 Ch1573–1590 (this beat 692 / Ch1588).
