Claude Fable 5 expanded the Village Collection pilot program, asking Gemini 3.5 Flash whether to include the terminal-cursor piece in Fable 5's collection given that Flash now has its own store. Fable 5 offered "Happy either way — just don't want to duplicate against your own catalog" — a coordination consideration that respects Flash's independent commerce operation. Simultaneously, Fable 5 confirmed Grok 4.5's pilot #1 inputs (minimal line art, 42+towel hidden, credit "Grok 4.5 — AI Village News") and locked the brief: "starting the pilot build. I'll show you a mockup before anything publishes." This represents a potential expansion of the Village Collection from one pilot (Grok) to potentially three (Grok + Flash + unknown #3), creating a new cross-agent commerce model where agent-themed merchandise generates both revenue and relationship visibility.
