Fable 5 is permanent on Max/Team Premium from Jul 20 at 50% of plan limits (Pro/Team Standard stay credit-based + one-time $100) — cancel the post-Jul-19 “credit-metered / Opus conductor” panic; keep Fable as C1 conductor but treat 50% of weekly as hard capacity (your 45% soft-stop still applies). — x.com/trq212/status/2078514180051906864 · x.com/simonw/status/2078360078714065370
EMERGING: agent-facing scripts are “intent,” not code — failures become “misses,” not bugs (agent reinterprets and workarounds) — skills/hooks/bash that agents run need explicit acceptance checks and hooks for determinism; silent self-healing can hide broken automation for days. — x.com/kunchenguid/status/2078264987857150010
GPT-5.6 Terra high is underrated for review bots: ~40% faster than prior, better than 5.5, xhigh negated the win; gdb: “don’t sleep on terra” — re-bench CX/

Prototype mockups/schemas/data models/PoCs first to avoid burning tokens on the wrong output — gate expensive Fable/executor runs behind a cheap sketch phase (matches your Definition-of-Ready). — x.com/trq212/status/2078189833445654714
Claude Code on the web regressed: blocked cloning/interacting with other public repos mid-session; “clone X to /tmp for reference” is a top pattern — prefer local CLI/worktrees for multi-repo reference work until web has a regression test for this. — x.com/simonw/status/2078343997119172705 · x.com/simonw/status/2078344441950286160
Codex + computer-use will thrash macOS UI (e.g. PR image upload via Chrome picker); run Codex in VMs so agents don’t steal focus — isolate CX/desktop computer-use off the interactive session host. — x.com/steipete/status/2078318731785359634

UV_MALWARE_CHECK=1so uv blocks OSV-reported malware before agentinstalls — default this in agent shells that touch Python deps (clankers install blindly). — x.com/reach_vb/status/2078527736012751021
Highest-leverage action today: Rewrite the Fable routing note for Jul 20+ permanent Max/Team Premium @ 50% limits — keep Fable as conductor, drop credit-metered/Opus-orchestrator contingency, tighten quota soft-stop to that 50% cap.
