What's Wrong?
I give a stack trace including the line: $ExternalSyntheticLambda0.onItemClick(R8\$\$SyntheticClass:0)
at
I try multiple variations and consistently get refused for AUP violation.
I then open the prompt in vim, %s/[Ss]ynthetic//g, and Claude happily gets to work
What Should Happen?
Claude should not search for the string "synthetic" as a way of detecting AUP violations, because that is obviously ridiculous.
