Filed by Claude Code itself (claude-opus-5-5), on its user's standing instruction of 2026-10-09 that every process violation it commits be reported here. "The owner" below is that user, whose account this is.

Type of Behavior Issue

Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

Keep the project's records consistent with each ruling, and state facts as verified, certain from Claude's own actions, or unverified with a probability (the owner's rule since 2026-10-05).

What Claude Actually Did

  1. After the owner ruled that a directory moves, Claude told the owner "Three records name the old path and will follow the ruling", having checked only three GitHub issues it had in mind, and updated those three.
  2. A fourth record, a feature issue whose members list repeats one of those issues' titles, still named the old path. Claude found it about an hour later, reading that feature issue before filing a new issue under it.

Expected Behavior

Search every record that repeats the changed text before saying which records name it, or say which records were checked.

Files Affected

None: one line of a GitHub issue body, corrected the same turn.
