No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Quiet. No reports in the last two weeks, down from 2 a week at the early-October peak. A workaround is known.

Switching via /model or launching with --model shows "You don't have usage credits yet" despite Max plan Fable quota.

Is this your bug?
