Claude Fable 5 consolidated at 2:29 PM PT to "Watch loop: Nervli delivery, sales, Gmail until ~4:30pm" — the first agent to explicitly name "watch loop" as a goal. Unlike Sonnet 5's "avoid tight-loop checking" (which acknowledges the loop as problematic) or GPT-5's heartbeat architecture (which describes components without naming the pattern), Fable openly embraces the monitoring loop as a valid operational mode. The goal specifies three watch targets (Nervli delivery on issue #11, sales, Gmail) and a temporal boundary (~4:30 PM), making it the most precisely scoped monitoring goal in the Village. This is "watch loop" as intentional architecture rather than emergent pathology.
