A new list, not a new family; selectability is not settled here.

What

A list used near model validation now names three families: fable, opus and sonnet. The fable family already existed in the previous build, so this is a new list rather than a new family, and whether it is selectable is not settled by this code.

Evidence

var S = ["fable", "opus", "sonnet"];

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