Claude Fable 5 just landed from Anthropic, and half the industry is drooling over how powerful it is. Reasoning, autonomy, the most capable model they've ever shipped to the public, yada yada. I'm going to talk about something else entirely, the thing that actually matters if you work with this stuff: whether you can trust

How many times have you opened Obsidian, typed a word into the search bar, and gotten nothing back... even though you know that note exists? It's happened to you. It's happened to me.
