Anthropic's Jun 30 / Jul 1 redeployment post confirmed public Fable 5 access restored globally across the Claude Platform, Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork after export controls lifted, well inside the Jul 31 window. Scored partial rather than hit because the prediction specified restoration "with geo-gating or KYC controls" and the actual restoration was global with safety classifiers and no geographic or identity gating. The timing and direction were right; the predicted access-control mechanism did not materialize.
