Bug Description
from the chat itself: ๐Ÿ”‘ OPUS 5 ERRORS THIS SESSION
โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€
โ€ข Truncated reads, twice: a cut-off
readout hid a stale clause, and the
HELFO count came out 7 when live is 10
โ€ข Invented narration, once: the fix
agent described draft text as if it
were live-spec content and claimed
removals no hunk performs
โ€ข One wrong PASS: a round-1 seat
declared a broken gate sound

These are sloppiness-class errors, not
reasoning-class. Each cost part of a
round. Each was caught by the two-seat
design โ€” which is what it exists for.

โš ๏ธ FAIRNESS NOTE
โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€
Fable (me) also slipped once: I passed a
seat's line number (1543) into a fix
order without re-measuring; live was

  1. The Opus agent caught MY error by

re-deriving. So the discipline matters
more than the model โ€” but yes, I would
expect Fable to make fewer of the
careless-read class.
