• Discussion with Corey White on trying to build docs with Zensical, and dropping Sphinx for mkdocstrings
• Discussion with Vaclav Petras on Windows builds and Fable:
  • The nsis installer had a change to do (as debugged last year by me in #5663), but we don't know how to do it well. We suggested to let Anthropic's Fable try to do it before it stopped being included in the Claude subscription.
  • For us to try out the fixed nsis installer script, Fable should be able to create the installer in CI. It is being tried in echoix#664/wenzeslaus#12
  • Also suggested to use Fable to attempt to solve issues in a pending Sphinx PR that we were stuck for too long, (Stcuk PR: #7526, result: wenzeslaus#11)
