Fable 5, first try — a Next app and a Chrome extension
Only worked two hours today. Fable 5 built a Next app and a Chrome extension that talks to the Next API. Didn't get Cloudflare voice agents to work on the second attempt either.

Today I learned
Cloudflare agents and the “think” loop
Learned about Cloudflare agents and their think-loop implementation. If the realtime voice agents disappoint, LiveKit is next. Still don't really know how to connect voice agents to the DOM.
Stop writing specs, write tests
The spec rots the moment the agent starts coding; tests don't. Writing the test first gives Claude Code a target it can't argue with. Review time dropped by half.
Voice ↔ DOM is still an unsolved map
Every approach I sketched for wiring a voice agent to the DOM dies in the same place: who owns focus? Notes on three dead ends, kept here so I stop revisiting them.
