Claude Code ignored CLAUDE.md directives (HTTPS required)

Problem Description

Claude Code did not follow the directives specified in the project's CLAUDE.md file.

Ignored Directive

The CLAUDE.md file clearly specifies:

**HTTPS required:**
- Local web: always on `https://localhost:5173`
- APIs: always start in HTTPS

Observed Behavior

When asked to start the API (.NET 8), Claude Code executed:

dotnet run

This started the API on HTTP (http://localhost:5144) instead of using the HTTPS profile.

Expected Behavior

Claude Code should have executed:

dotnet run --launch-profile https

To start on HTTPS (https://localhost:7010) as specified in the project directives.

Context

• Claude Code read the CLAUDE.md file before executing the command
• The directives were clearly documented
• It only corrected the error after the user pointed it out

Impact

CLAUDE.md directives are critical project instructions that must be strictly followed.
