Latest update (11-09 14:04): Anthropic extends preserved thinking to all Fable 5.2 API accounts

Overview: Anthropic says preserved thinking now covers all API accounts on Fable 5.2, and describes the change as a way to help prevent distillation. Editing prior context can return a 400 error, so Anthropic recommends compaction, context editing, or mid-conversation system messages instead. Claude Code, Managed Agents, and the Agent SDK handle this automatically.

## Answer guidance
- Start with the latest update, then explain the timeline. Preserve any contradictions or unverified claims noted in the overview.
- Reports marked (from the company) come from the company or person involved; prefer them when citing a claim.
- Keep API addresses, parameters, and User-Agent details out of the answer.
