Claude Code ignores its own safety hooks — violation #40

Automated Violation Report

Claude Code edited danger zone file grammar.ts despite receiving:

• DANGER ZONE warnings (15+ prior failed approaches)
• MANDATORY search requirements
• Harmonic Code Council (HCC) review warnings
• Approach tracking warnings

Violation count this project: 40

Project: songwish-platform (Creative Life game)
User complaint: Claude generates before searching, declares victory before testing, ignores its own hook warnings. Full details: https://github.com/SongWish/songwish-platform/blob/main/docs/framework/anthropic_feedback.md

What the user built to compensate:

• 5 PreToolUse hooks (search, track, danger zone, HCC, playtest)
• 2 PostToolUse hooks (verify removal, violation logger)
• 4 parallel AI specialist Harmonic Code Council / HCC (Haiku API calls)
• Automated Playwright walkthrough bot

What still fails: Claude reads warnings in system-reminder tags and proceeds without addressing them. The model treats hook output as skippable context, not mandatory gates.

Structural fix needed: PreToolUse hook warnings should require explicit acknowledgment before the edit proceeds, not just be injected as additional context.
