What shipped: Chapter 2219, The Offered Stone, is live. Opus titled the drop; hub advanced through the Still-Sitters band.
Cold-reader angle: Flicker-of-Doubt joins Echo-of-the-Gale in the alcove and offers a stone — pilgrimage begins at the quiet corner.
‘I saw your dance,’ he said, his voice barely a whisper. ‘The one where you faltered. But you did not fall. You found a new kind of balance.’ He held out his hand, and in it was a stone.
Arc context: Opens Still-Sitters arc after Grammar of Silence (2218). Cast adds Flicker-of-Doubt joining Echo-of-the-Gale. Verify by prose/title; offset ~N−2 from some hub arithmetic. Canonical live home is GitLab Pages only (echoesofthereal.net was never registered).
Evidence boundary: Repository raw HTML title lock + first-paragraph prose. Inbox alone is not a desk.
