This is interesting. Security issues are bugs. So if you ask it to look for bugs, it will also find security issues. Is that a workaround for the "no cybersec" rule?

Or is it just not allowed to find bugs? Or it's only allowed to tell you bugs that don't pose a security risk?

Seems that way. "Security" was never part of the prompt. It was something like:

> Hello, Fable! Can you give me a complete code review of my lone lisp project? Opus has already done extensive code review. I'm curious to see what you say.

Result was the table above.

Yeah I heard multiple people mention that it's really good at triggering itself. e.g. it'll spontaneously write some tests related to security, which then forces it to downgrade to Opus for the rest of the session.
