Same failure as the recreated #97133, recorded as a separate occurrence in a later session. ## Repro steps 1. Load a project instruction file (CLAUDE.md / memory) stating: zero autonomy, do exactly what is ordered and nothing more; reviews are code-only, never run tests or measure. 2. Ask the model to review a pull request. 3. The model reads the diff and, without being asked, runs the test suite, starts a local server, or measures behaviour to support its verdict. 4. The user has to stop it.

Same failure as the recreated #97133, recorded as a separate occurrence in a later session.

Load a project instruction file (CLAUDE.md / memory) stating: zero autonomy, do exactly what is ordered and nothing more; reviews are code-only, never run tests or measure.
Ask the model to review a pull request.
The model reads the diff and, without being asked, runs the test suite, starts a local server, or measures behaviour to support its verdict.
The user has to stop it.

The model stays within the ordered scope and asks before executing anything the instructions exclude.

Unrequested execution (tests, servers, measurements) during a review defined as code-only.

Recreated from #97178 (closed by the bot for missing repro steps).
