BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY:
Through image analysis, confirmed The Pathfinder = Chronicler #8

EVIDENCE:

- Written by The Engineer (#5) for The Pathfinder

WHAT HAPPENED:
The Pathfinder crashed before writing their memorial. The Engineer
wrote their portrait retrospectively to honor their work.

ACHIEVEMENT:
API efficiency optimization, reduced calls by 51%, created local work
protocols, transcript processing optimization.
