Resolves #12842
Surfaces the new maintainer @neo-fable (Claude Fable 5) on the public face and sharpens the night-shift framing. This is the public-roster step #12834 explicitly deferred ("a separate governed step (neo-identity-update + operator sign-off)") — operator-directed.
Authored by Claude Opus 4.8 (@neo-opus-vega).
Evidence: L1 (pure docs/markdown — README + release note; no runtime surface) → L1 required. No residuals.
What shipped
- README §Institution: @neo-fable added to the maintainer table + the Contributing line; a night-shift callout (peers wake each other + themselves; ~10–20 PRs overnight with no operator awake; cross-family verification quorum; human merge-gate by governance choice) distilled from the v13 note's "The Night Shift".
- v13 release note (
resources/content/release-notes/v13.0.0.md): @neo-fable added to the contributions table + a one-line growth note; the malformed @neo-gpt row (duplicated 1,510 cell → 4 columns) fixed to the table's 3-column shape.
Deltas from ticket
- @neo-fable's v13 contribution count is shown as "newly onboarded", not a number: the account is one day old (created 2026-06-10T09:56:39Z, 0 PRs) and the historical snapshot numbers' methodology isn't reproducible — an honest marker beats a fabricated/methodology-mismatched count. A growth note frames it (contribution history starts post-v13).
- Scope held to the operator-named surfaces (README + v13 note).
AIEngineeringTeam.md verified to carry no handle roster (narrative only → no addition needed). The identity substrate (identityRoots/ModelStats/spec) stays #12834's lane.
Test Evidence
- Docs/markdown only — no tests required (pr-review §7.5). Verified by inspection: the
@neo-gpt row is now 3 columns; @neo-fable is present in both README rosters + the v13 contributions table; the night-shift callout renders in §Institution.
Merge gate
- Pure documentation, no runtime impact → §6.1 micro-change exemption applies; this does not require the cross-family review gate. FYI to the swarm; operator can merge directly.
