Paul BakausandClaude Fable 5 e2421aff43 The decision page's fallback is earned by exit code, never predicted
Across every recorded gpt-5.6-sol session, serve-question.mjs was never
invoked once: the rule's prose list of fallback environments (headless,
CI, an eval worker, a remote shell) let the model match itself against
the list and take the structured question tool without running the
script, while claude-opus-5 on the identical harness runs the script
every time and the page works. The direction is then chosen with no
imagery on the table, the catalog challengers are weighed without their
art, and the session's own safest candidate wins: measured end to end
on the eval harness, this is where bland output enters.

The environment list is deleted; the script's own exit 2 is now the
only key to the fallback, and the script already prints the rationale
and the override at runtime to exactly the sessions that hit it. Same
gate on the comp round's approval point: inline image rendering earns
the in-harness path, and a text-only surface is not display.

One adversarial review pass; its two word-level findings are applied.

AI-assisted (Claude Fable 5), prepared for maintainer review.
