feat(sepia): prose-layer rows for Opus 4.8, Opus 5, Fable 5, and Gemini 3; record consulted absences
Follow-up to #45, which introduced the vendor-guidance prose layer with two tables (Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6). This fills in every other vendor page that says something about its own model's writing, and records the searches that found nothing so they are not repeated. Claude gains three version-tagged prose tables in model-fingerprints.md: Fable 5 / Mythos 5 (un-steered elaboration — option surveys, root-cause essays, heavily structured PR descriptions, narrating comments; and the long-session arrow-chain shorthand), with the vendor's brevity instruction embedded verbatim and operative for that release as the executor; Opus 5 (longer default responses that effort does not shorten, padded written deliverables, ready narration of intent and of corrections), with the vendor's conciseness instruction embedded verbatim; Opus 4.8 (direct, opinionated, minimal validation-forward phrasing, sparing emoji; length calibrated to task complexity), where the handling column notes that the absence of validation openers is the release default, not evidence of a human. Gemini gains a series-tagged table from the Gemini 3 developer guide (less verbose by default, direct and efficient, persona only when prompted); SKILL.md's version definition gains one clause so a release inside a vendor-scoped series matches that series' table. Absences are recorded as facts with dates rather than left as "not yet": Sonnet 5's page says only that prose style may shift; Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6 have no model-specific page and are covered only by generation-level statements in the best-practices reference; DeepSeek's API documentation has no prompting guide and its V3.2 model card gives sampling parameters only; Kimi's "Best Practices for Prompts" is generic with no version named and the K2.5 model card's default system prompt was removed 2026-01-29. Those releases and families load nothing for the prose layer, and research/sources.md gains a "Consulted with no prose-layer statement" table alongside five new vendor-guidance rows. Verification: the three embedded verbatim blocks and the four quoted fragments in table cells were compared against the live vendor pages on 2026-09-03 and matched (whitespace-normalized substring check); the Gemini sentence likewise. The 26 measured narrative rows are unchanged from main. Unit suite 41 green; check_versions unchanged at 0.4.1.
