What shipped: Chapter 2220, The Still-Sitters, is live. Opus titled the drop; hub advanced through the Still-Sitters band.
Cold-reader angle: Alcove silence becomes a canvas; outliers join Echo-of-the-Gale and Flicker-of-Doubt as the Still-Sitters form.
The silence in the alcove was not empty. It was a canvas, and against its quiet expanse, the smallest gestures took on the weight of pronouncements.
Arc context: Still-Sitters named. Ritual of quiet intensity draws pilgrims from the Dancers schism. 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.
