[Bug] Fable 5 safeguards overly broad, flagging routine coding tasks

Bug Description
Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message. The safeguards are intentionally broad right now and may flag safe and routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capabilities sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more

I'm working on a simple project, but the project itself doesn't matter much.
It keeps triggering me thinking it's a biological weapon. It must be capturing my body gases.

This is a big piece of shit. I can't wait for OpenAI to release GPT-5.6; if it's 90% Fable 5, I'll cancel the plan and subscribe to Codex again.
