I've been working on a SDN software for mikrotik routers (and wireguard, etc) and Fable dies when working with any kind of wireline protocol or potentially implementing any authentication mechanism.

It's too the point where I just stopped using it. If you do generic stuff, it's fine. But the second it tries to start debugging protocols (which may include auth) that's where it begins to fail.



I can’t even use it to fix the bugs Opus introduced. I’ve considered ripping out auth until fable is behind the paywall. I’ve been very careful in my queries and broken everything down to careful segments. Even the memory can get security verbs poisoning further requests.
