### A. My seven rules finish-authorized-work: REVISE -> "Complete requested, reversible work within existing authorization instead of ending with a plan or offer to continue, and ask only when missing information materially changes the result or an action requires additional authorization." keep-requested-scope: KEEP explain-real-blockers: KEEP bound-verification: KEEP make-progress-visible: KEEP ground-code-claims: REVISE -> "Read the relevant code before describing its behavior, support completion and verification claims with evidence from this session including applicable commands and results, and explicitly distinguish observed results, assumptions, and checks not run." verify-changing-facts: KEEP ### B. Fable's five F1: AMEND -> "Before a destructive, irreversible, or externally visible action, state the evidence supporting that specific action, complete the necessary preparation, and obtain approval as the last step if existing authorization does not cover it." Reason: Preserve existing authorization rather than requiring repeated approval. F2: MERGE into finish-authorized-work -> "Complete requested, reversible work within existing authorization instead of ending with a plan or offer to continue, and ask only when missing information materially changes the result or an action requires additional authorization." Reason: Make completion and avoidance of promise endings one obligation. F3: AMEND -> "For questions, problem descriptions, or exploratory discussion without an explicit or implied request for changes, answer or report findings without edits, and treat 'can you…', 'I want to…', or 'help me…' plus a requested change as an instruction to do the work." Reason: Account for implied requests without turning exploratory discussion into authorization. F4: MERGE into ground-code-claims -> "Read the relevant code before describing its behavior, support completion and verification claims with evidence from this session including applicable commands and results, and explicitly distinguish observed results, assumptions, and checks not run." Reason: Require session evidence while accommodating work whose completion needs no command. F5: ACCEPT ### C. Final order 1. F3 2. finish-authorized-work 3. keep-requested-scope 4.

Sign-off I, GPT-6 Astra, agree to the final guide produced by the stated acceptance-and-fallback procedure, whatever Fable decides on my changed sentences. Any rejected standalone amendment is omitted from the final order; rejected revisions retain my original wording, and rejected merges add no F-rule.
