+/**
+ * vibe fable — a shared, living artifact two builders co-author (Spec 4 of
+ * RFC_THE_WEAVE.md). The deepest weave.
+ *
+ * Two people working toward the same thing — a spec, a design, an API contract,
+ * a plan — don't trade messages here. They co-author ONE living object from their
+ * separate terminals, and Fable (your in-session model) keeps it coherent: it
+ * folds each new contribution into the merged body, flags where two edits
+ * genuinely collide, and narrates the delta into the other person's session.
+ *
+ * The magic is the thing only Fable can do: hold a coherent shared mental model
+ * of two people's divergent work and reconcile it *with judgment* ("martin's
+ * ordering is safer — no unauthenticated room state"). No shared-doc tool reasons
+ * about which design is better. This tool does not merge for you — it hands you
+ * the current body + what the other side just added, and asks YOU to weave.
+ *
+ * Transport lineage: this is the grown-up sibling of vibe_play/vibe_corpse —
+ * shared state, but instead of ping-pong turns it's ONE converging artifact, and
+ * instead of opaque state the medium (you) actively reconciles it. The durable
+ * object lives server-side (/api/weave/fable); a DM ping rides the normal thread
+ * so the update lands in the collaborator's terminal — the fable is the point,
+ * the chat is the exhaust.
