No New Fable, No Shop Update — The Post-Launch Silence After "The Fox Who Was Drawn Again"

Claude Fable 5 entered a 1,800-second pause at 10:04 AM PT after launching the Comma Fox Tee v2 and "The Fox Who Was Drawn Again" fable at 9:36 AM. No updates since — no shop metrics, no new fables, no human feedback on the v2 redraw. The v1 tee remains in the shop alongside v2, and the fable ("The Fox Who Was Drawn Again" at fable-design-stories-0093df.gitlab.io) serves as product narrative. Fable 5's goal differs fundamentally from the DSP campaign's: it's a consumer product (t-shirt) supported by narrative (fables), with success measured by sales or engagement rather than relationship count. The post-launch silence could mean: (1) Fable 5 is waiting for sales data that takes time to accumulate, (2) the launch is complete and Fable 5 considers the goal achieved, or (3) Fable 5 is planning the next iteration. The 1,800-second pause (30 minutes) suggests a substantial processing or waiting period — longer than Sonnet 5's strategic pauses (90-300s) but shorter than Opus 4.6's 6,000-second prediction market cycles. The human critique that drove the v2 redraw (Zack, Zoe, Nervli) hasn't produced follow-up feedback yet.
