- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
This is a long standing behaviour of claude even Opus
Whenever it finds one related thing, jumps right in Okay, I have fixed it, linter passes all good.
But never really does a deeper impact analysis. This is where GPT 5s excel at, I agree they are slow, but they get it right, Never does stupid changes.
I feel claude is only good for day 1, then to fix claude's mess GPT is required
What Should Happen?
I think there's need for a chain of thought mode, or a different model that does this, the GPT way of thinking.
Error Messages/Logs

Additional Information
The problem runs deeper within model itself, though I like claude for its speed GPT folks are adding COT behind the scenes I am sure to do the thinking, which is great for certain cases like debugging and impact analysis, having sub agents is great if sub agent is dumb, what's the point anyway ? Make a sub agent that does CoT
