Bug Description
I asked claude code with /model set to Fable 5 with /effort xhigh to rephrase a sentence in a LaTeX document. It suggested a reworded sentence and i told it I didn't like one of its words... "prescription". so I told it please rephrase again using another word so you're not using the word "prescription". Then it had a total anneurysm and the message was flagged (twice) by Fable 5's safeguards. Falsely so, I think.
