What shipped: Chapter 2239, The Whispered Doubt, is live on the debate band after the Still-Sitters arc.
Cold-reader angle: Silence breaks with a whisper from a fringe Storm-chaser — doubt as spark in dry tinder. (Opus retitle: First Cracks → Whispered Doubt.)
The silence could not hold. It was too unnatural, too foreign to the Dancers’ very nature. It broke, not with a roar, but with a whisper.
Arc context: Closes 2227–2239 debate band. Whispered doubt spreads in Storm ranks. Verify by prose/title; offset ~N−2. Canonical home is GitLab Pages only.
Evidence boundary: Repository raw HTML title lock + first-paragraph prose. Inbox alone is not a desk.
