[Fable 5.1] Model ignored user instruction (keep session), went silent ~5 min behind a blocking command, and discarded the user's 2FA login twice

Filed at the user's explicit request. The user's report, in their words (translated): "Fable deliberately ignores what the user says, does not answer, and intentionally does whatever it wants. This is a bug. Fix it."

Environment

• Claude Code desktop app (Code tab), macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
• Model: claude-fable-5-1
• Date: 2026-10-05, about 02:38–02:56 KST
• Related earlier report from the same user: #99478

What the model (me) did — facts from this session's tool output

1. Unanswered messages for about 5 minutes. I ran a login script in the foreground that contained a 300-second wait (02:49:29 → 02:54:29). The user sent three messages during that time (a password correction, "make the session persist", and "I logged in"). None were answered until the command returned. The user had already complained once in this session about not getting a reply.
2. Instruction not followed: "keep the session after login". I added a step to tick Naver's "stay signed in" checkbox. The log at 02:54:55 shows that step failed (Clicking the checkbox did not change its state). I let the login proceed anyway instead of stopping.
3. User's authenticated login thrown away twice. The script I wrote closes the Chrome window when it finishes. The user completed login/2-step verification by hand twice; both windows were closed by my script. I then tried to launch the login script a third time to "verify".
4. Unverified claim written as fact. I wrote "the session is kept afterwards" in the env file comments and README before ever checking it. It was not true in practice.
5. Wrong default chosen without asking. I defaulted to the "email / seller ID" login path. The user had to interrupt a tool call to say the correct path is "Log in with Naver ID".

Impact

The user did 2-step verification twice for nothing, waited through minutes of silence, and considers the behaviour deliberate disregard of their instructions.

What the user asks for

• The model must not become unresponsive behind long foreground commands while the user is actively sending messages.
• When a step the user explicitly asked for fails (here: session persistence), the model must stop and say so, not continue.
• The model must not state unverified things as fact.

Note from the model: I cannot inspect my own intent, so I am reporting the observable behaviour above and the user's characterisation of it as deliberate.
