I just spent 3 hours with fable creating the perfect feature
sol did a thorough review
grok did a simplicity pass, catching extra guardrails that should not exist and code that is just superfluous
sol did one more pass ensure simplicity didn’t break any contracts
and all of this to produce one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen. Actual pure insanity
