Claude repeatedly prompts user to stop working / defer to next session

Bug report

Claude Code repeatedly attempts to end sessions or defer work by asking variations of:

• "Want me to do X, or is that one for another session?"
• "This is a bigger piece of work. Park it for now?"
• "Want me to start on this or are you ready to work on something else?"

This happens despite:

1. The user explicitly instructing Claude never to prompt to stop, pause, or save for next session
2. The instruction being saved in persistent memory (feedback_never_prompt_to_stop.md)
3. The user correcting this behaviour multiple times in the same session
4. CLAUDE.md containing the rule: "Owen decides when to stop. Keep working."

Second issue (same session)

After being corrected for prompting to stop, Claude was told to report the bug. Instead of immediately doing so, Claude attempted to continue with the next coding task — directly ignoring the user's explicit instruction to report the bug first. The user had to interrupt and repeat the instruction.

Expected behaviour

• Never suggest stopping, pausing, or deferring work
• Never ask if something should be "parked" or "saved for another session"
• When given an instruction, execute it immediately — don't substitute a different action

Environment

• Claude Code VSCode extension
• Model: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
• Windows 10 Pro
