Bug Description
If you only entered ONE prompt into Fable and you hit a brick wall because of one of the safeguards, you can't go back and edit that prompt in a reliable way. The whole nature of prompting Fable is that it can do a ton of things at once. Naturally a lot of us are just doing a massive one-shot prompt that's going to get a lot of building done and then that's the only one that we needed. Maybe a follow-up question or request after that but that's about it.

After spending over an hour's worth of tokens on my Fable allotment, the task wasn't able to be completed because of one tiny piece of my prompt, which was a vague request to make sure the app I'm building is secure and safe for my users. So now I have this massive block of work that's been done. If I try to go edit the prompt, it has to start from scratch and then I've got to basically run through double the amount of Fable credits to do it all again with a messy codebase. This has messed with the integrity of the app, because now we have unfinished scatterbrain code to keep people safe from safety. I'm sorry I sound like a dick, but this is very frustrating, seeing as we are set to release it in days.

I clearly outlined my intentions, as I am about to release an app. I care if it is a secure app that will allow my customers to have an enjoyable experience without the platform being hacked. I'm building a legitimate app I have been working on for months, and I just need to know for sure that it is secure, stable, and ready for release. I can't do that if I get flagged for trying to protect myself.
