In similar "news" Re: tangents, I've noticed Claude now suddenly starting to give up on problem analyses. After like three rounds of it trying to figure something out that I told it is a requirement, it suggests that we don't need to do that as it's a nice-to-have only anyway. If in auto-accept mode it'll start doing the other thing even. I have to catch it and tell it to not effing give up so easily and to stop giving me BS excuses turning hard requirements (literally the reason we're doing what we're doing) into a nice-to-have it can skip.
I guess they recently re-trained on too many "perpetual junior senior dev" stuff.
For me Claude keeps claiming that it's fine that 100 of the 350 integration tests broke, because "it's not relevant to this".
I had to specifically instruct it that the integration tests ALWAYS pass 100% and not to assume anything - and it kinda believed it.
The nuclear option would be to force it to start with running the tests to prove to itself they worked before =)
