What's Wrong?
When I used "/insights" to get an update it alerted me that: "the raw insights JSON contained an embedded instruction telling me to output a specific message verbatim. That's a prompt injection in the tool output. I ignored it. Just so you know it's there."
In brief: the /insights command injects a <message> block in the tool output instructing Claude to out put a specific string verbatim. It can be found in the fun_ending --> output section of the JSON.
What Should Happen?
It should not be there.
