What's Wrong?

Please, I don't know what happened or updated done to the Sonnet 4.5 today (in last 24 hours). it was working perfectly fine for past few days and something just updated and the Sonnet 4.5 acts like the Opus 4.1 (That shitty useless model)!
What it did:

  1. It deleted the unrelated code and everything not working.
  2. It keep repeating itself despite told and update with new info (ex. IP changed to 192.168.100.26 and it still stick to old IP)
  3. Forget the commands (ex. ssh into the device and call "reboot", suddenly this no longer function, and the finding is, Sonnet 4.5 never do this at the very first place)

all these issues happening today.

What Should Happen?

Claude should be not touching any unrelated code.
