# Prompt Optimizer — Fable 5 Edition
## CHANGELOG
**v1.0-fable — Jul 2026.** Standalone fork of `prompt-optimizer` v4.2 (Opus 4.8), recalibrated for **Claude Fable 5**. Produced through an internal maintenance-review process (staged review against two empirical exhibits); ruling standards: the official Anthropic *Prompting Claude Fable 5* guide and the Jul 2026 effort documentation. The Opus sibling remains in use, unchanged.
**Lockstep contract (governance).** The architecture decision module — the seven signals, verdict logic, and guards — plus its threshold constants are bound in lockstep with `prompt-architect-fable`: any change there propagates to both Fable skills. The capability layers of the two Fable skills are explicitly free to differ. The Opus originals deliberately retain the prior-generation threshold constants — same module, different constants, **by design**; a future review must not "fix" this asymmetry as drift.
Changes vs. v4.2:
- **Effort model rewritten** for the Fable 5 ladder (low / medium / high / xhigh / max; high default) with bidirectional calibration and counter-instruction pairing (Step 9.5).
- **Surface parameter added** (chat / code / cowork / harness) gating RUN SETTINGS and agentic techniques (Intake, Step 9.5).
- **Architecture thresholds recalibrated (LOCKSTEP):** fidelity test primary; provisional numeric backstop, VALIDATE-marked; prior-generation bands retired on direct empirical disconfirmation (Step 3 signal 7, Step 7a).
- **Capabil
