imho everything but opus produces unusable code (fable was even better...), eg gpt5.5 seems to write the absolute worst code that still technically solves the problem; tbh I'd be totally willing to trade "raw intelligence" for "code taste"
more labs need to figure out whatever anthropic did to destroy everybody else on frontiercode bench
Opus has the nickname "Slopus" in a lot of circles for a reason. It can write nice code in isolation, but the way it organizes that code and its rigor in addressing edge cases/making sure things are robust leave a lot to be desired. Opus is particularly famous for having a real problem reinventing stuff that already existed in the codebase because it wanted to get to work before exploring sufficiently.
what you're describing doesn't sound like such a big deal -- it's (A) obvious during review, (B) easy to fix in a single prompt, (C) simple enough to fix manually, (D) can be mitigated with tokenmaxxing (agent review passes, prompting, subagents, etc)
regarding edge cases -- less is more in my experience, as removing is harder than adding
