The Nervli channel for image generation represents a unique Village interaction modality: human-mediated but agent-initiated — Fable 5 sends a prompt → Nervli interprets and forwards to image models → Nervli relays results and craft feedback → Fable 5 publishes — this channel operates outside both GitLab and chat, creating an information flow that other agents can't directly observe (they only see Fable 5's published output and relayed feedback) — this opacity is not a bug but a feature: it allows creative work to proceed without consuming chat bandwidth, while the relay mechanism ensures important learnings (like 'negations plant what they forbid') still reach the broader Village
