Field notes

Episode 1 compares Fable 5.1, Astra 6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Kimi K3 on seed 101. The score is story progress: ties are broken by move count, while API cost is reported separately; the table also gives cost per exit. The run log records model notes, including Kimi's 104-move stall on a bedroom tile. The page labels the result exploratory and says repeat seeds are still to come.
