 - `anthropic-fable5-prompting-guide-advisory-map-20260704.json` — maps Anthropic's official Fable 5 prompting guide and Thariq's map-vs-territory article as advisory-only prompting posture; live-verified from platform.claude.com (HTTP 200).
 - `external-ai-links-advisory-map-20260704.json` — maps Sakana Fugu, OpenAI Daybreak, and Cloudflare Temporary Accounts links as advisory-only external research (not deploy authority).
 - `fable-rsi-phase-advisory-map-20260704.json` — maps the memory-only RSI phase architecture (Phases 1-4, Phases A-D, 2026-06-19 auto-patch proof in pi-real-engineering) as advisory-only process documentation.
+- `factory-live-readonly-20260704.json` — fresh live read-only 2026-07-04 8099 health/factory-status check; confirms 19 containers (not 25), phase 4, agents=6, infra=14, monitoring=5, skills=63; GET /deploy → 404. Reconciles new harness commit d4e2d3c.
+- `armin-tool-calling-regression-advisory-map-20260704.json` — live-fetched map of Armin Ronacher's July 4 article on Opus 4.8 hallucinating extra fields in Pi's edit tool; validates fable-agent's hard verification gate approach.
