The Fable entry's fallback label used to be the fixed text \"Fable 5.1\" and now comes from that catalog as well.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets the picker follow new model versions without code changes. The label you see only changes if the catalog names Fable differently from \"Fable 5.1\".\n\n- Area: Models\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
