Fable 5 Usage Credits UX Overhaul

What

The model selector and status messages around Fable 5's usage credits are significantly improved with clearer state communication.

Details
  • The model entry now dynamically shows either "Draws from usage credits" or "Included with your plan until [date]" depending on account state
  • New fableOverageConsent consent flow: users are asked to explicitly enable usage credits before Fable 5 draws from them
  • Consent is stored per organization UUID or account UUID in local settings
  • Improved error messages distinguish between: credits not yet enabled, monthly limit reached (admin-adjustable vs. self-adjustable), credits unavailable for the account, and organization policy disabling credits
  • A configurable bridge dialog timeout: CLAUDE_CODE_FABLE_BRIDGE_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS (default 60,000 ms)
Evidence

Fable model description function (search for "Draws from usage credits", "Included with your plan until", "fableOverageConsent", "CLAUDE_CODE_FABLE_BRIDGE_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
