Claude attempts to create existing file instead of fixing import path

Bug Description

When debugging a batch file error, Claude:

1. Correctly identified the problem (file moved to archive, import path broken)
2. Instead of fixing the import path, attempted to recreate the entire 900+ line file in a new location
3. Dumped the entire file content into a "Do you want to create..." prompt

Expected Behavior

Claude should have:

• Fixed the import path in the batch file, OR
• Told me the file was moved and asked how I wanted to fix it

Instead it tried to recreate iqfeed_internals_realtime.py from scratch (or memory?), outputting hundreds of lines of code.

Context

• User asked to debug why START_LIVE_STREAMING.bat reported IQFeed not connected
• Claude found the file was moved to archive/legacy_scripts/
• Claude then attempted to create a new file with the full implementation

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Claude Code CLI
