A claude-fable-5-1 model id is recognized and becomes the fable family default, with UI text updated to Fable 5.1.

A new claude-fable-5-1 model id is recognized, along with a matching claude-mythos-5-1 variant. The fable family's default, best, and latest_per_family selections now point to claude-fable-5-1, though a gateway-specific override still uses claude-fable-5. UI text changes from "Fable 5" to "Fable 5.1".
