We pasted identical prompts into Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Fable 5 — an animated highway interchange, a one-file Space Invaders, a pure-SVG aquarium, and a 3D rocket launch — one shot each, no retries. Everything runs live inside the article. Four builds in, it is dead level at 2–2 — and the launch round flips the very pattern the first three revealed.
