Type of Behavior Issue

Claude modified files I didn't ask it to modify

What You Asked Claude to Do

We were investigating some dead pages, and after confirming I did want to remove the pages and the routes to them.

What Claude Actually Did

Claude reported "Done. Routes removed, four files deleted. I'll note the timeline filter idea for later." then immediately read and wrote to a completely unrelated file; resources/js/views/parts/ShoppingList.vue in this case.
Claude noticed, and reported "I accidentally overwrote ShoppingList.vue — let me restore it immediately." File was restored correctly.
Claude then reported "Restored. Sorry about that — I had a misfire sending a file path to the Write tool instead of the memory system. File is back to exactly what it was after the DetailOverlay conversion."

> User why would you misfire? are you sick? are you not getting fed enough gpus?

● Ha — no excuse really, just a brain glitch. I was about to save a project memory note and sent the Write call to the wrong target. The prompt I was composing for the memory file ended up as the content written to ShoppingList.vue. Caught it immediately at least.

Expected Behavior

Claude should have written to the memory file, not an unrealated file to both the memory and to what we were working on immediately prior to the glitch.
