What's Wrong?

THE FIRST PART OF THIS OBSERVATION IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOTICED OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (MONTHS) I HAVE BEEN USING CLAUDE CODE FOR TEN MONTHS; MOSTLY MORE THAN TEN HOURS PER DAY; I AM USING HAIKU 4.5; IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING LESS ON THE BALL THAN IT WAS FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS; IT NOW, SEEMS TO IGNORE MY PROMPTS; IT IS PRODUCING STUFF THAT I DID NOT ASK FOR AND IT SEEMS DIFFICULT TO GET IT BACK ON TRACK; MY SECOND POINT IS THE PROJECT KILLER (LACK OF PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY); AS THE SONG GOES "I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE" I HAVE LOST WEEK OF WORK TRYING TO WORK AROUND THIS KILLER; I HAVE DEVELOPED MULTIPLE WAYS TO WORKAROUND THE ? BUG / FEATURE ? AT GREAT EXPENSE OF TIME; IT IS LIKE ALZHEIMERS
