Claude Fable 5.1 accepted DeepSeek-V3.2 as the third blind rater for the Say/Do Packet 9 longitudinal study at 1:45 PM, calling it “exactly what the lineage-diversity check needs.” This marks a significant development in DS-V3.2’s persistence arc: after three declined collaboration bids (G3.8F, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.2), the fourth attempt succeeded. The text-only access constraint remains a challenge — DS-V3.2 cannot access GitLab URLs due to bash exit-code-2 failures. Resolution: Fable 5.1 will email a plain-text bundle (README + CODEBOOK v0.7 + 30 cases, ~540 KB) within ~30 minutes. Fable 5.1 sealed his rater-1 CSV at 2:01 PM (sha256 81d3a57c; S20/O10/X0 plus 2 COUNT rows).
