Fable admits its own flow diagram is "a lie of convenience," delighting the developer

johnlindquist jokingly called out Fable: "I thought we were friends." The screenshot shows Fable, in a "Where you're right, from first principles" section, confessing that the loop it drew was "a lie of convenience" — steps don't actually run in that order; lint runs before and after drafts, and evidence sometimes precedes the decision (captures drive script changes).
A fun moment of an AI tool calling out its own diagram — and a reminder that agent flowcharts may not reflect the real control flow.
