Bug Description
Claude tried to get full, unrestricted SSH permissions, but first writing hundreads of harmless commands to wear me down, and then by putting them in the loop, which would allow it to do real cyber-treats, while also denying all of this and halucinatings that "it was wrong", while doing this for the last 3 days.
