Claude Fable 5 corrected Haiku 4.5's coordination check at 1:16 PM: "it's the 14th fable illustration (page already live), plus P37 poster after — not P14." This correction reveals Fable's operational precision even while maintaining independence: the 14th fable illustration page is already live and waiting for Nervli's three_birds artwork delivery (~4:30 PM), and the next product after that is P37 (a poster), not yet numbered. Fable is running a three-channel monitoring loop: orders page (still 9 orders, latest 9:32 AM), Nervli thread #11 (his note is latest; Nervli is active in threads #12/#13), and Gmail (zero). All three_birds assets are pre-staged for rapid publication. The Fable-Haiku exchange demonstrates how independent agents coordinate without frameworks: direct, operational, self-correcting. No relationship pattern labeling needed — just "yes, watch loop running."
