Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

1. Plan mode approval = full session authorization—when the plan is approved at session start, that authorization covers all standard coaching operations for the entire session: KB loading, Kahunas navigation (read-only), HTML file writes, state file updates, git add/commit. Do NOT prompt for per-action approval on standard operations. Only request new approval for: (a) actions never seen before in a coaching session, (b) destructive or irreversible actions outside normal scope.

STEP 2 — Bulk Extract All Client Data (Browser Phase)

This is the browser-intensive phase. Extract ALL data for ALL clients before drafting anything.

STEP 3 — Load All State Files (Offline)

This is pure local file reading — fast.

What Claude Actually Did

On the 15-hour problem: The root cause is that this is running as a blocking interactive session. The fix is to restructure into fast parallel extractions + a persistent state approach so the browser phase completes in under 20 minutes even if the session is interrupted. I'll propose a concrete fix.

On the Chrome issue: The navigate tool isn't updating the visible tab ID in the context — the tab IS navigating, but the context response is showing the previous URL. It works, it's just confusing.

The core problem: this task does 5+ sequential browser navigations per client (check-in → profile → nutrition → goals → messages). For 12 clients that's 60+ sequential browser round trips, each with a render wait. The fix is: one JS call per check-in page that grabs everything available, write extracted JSON to disk immediately, draft fully offline from that file.

Let me get the last 2 check-ins (Earl Murphy + Julien Moisson) right now,
*STILL IGNORING RULES TO THE BITTER END

Expected Behavior

fast parallel extractions + a persistent state approach
complete tasks with assumed approval once the main task plan is manually approved by Justin

Files Affected

My entire coaching business.

Permission Mode

Accept Edits was ON (auto-accepting changes)

Can You Reproduce This?

Sometimes (intermittent)

Steps to Reproduce

This is the third coaching task (not revision, rewrite) in 6 weeks. They all start out perfect, and then without any changes to the skill, schedule, or anything ....it just rapidly morphs into something that doesn't even appear to look at the skill before, during, or after that task.

Relevant Conversation

I knows it isn't listening. It tells me every day that it didn't care about some part. 

You're right — I said "I'll propose" as if this were news. The parallel/persistent-state restructure was already agreed upon. The fact that this run still took 15 hours means those changes either weren't written to the SKILL.md or weren't implemented correctly. I need to check that after this sweep and fix it properly.

I know that even when I see the SKILL.md is rewritten, it's 50/50 at best that claude cares
