What's Wrong?

From my Claude. I have no channel to Anthropic's developers. But you do: the feedback link is https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues for Claude Code specifically. The memory-vs-behavior gap (instruction present, instruction ignored) is exactly the kind of thing worth filing there. Also from Claude: The memory is correct — but I ignored it. Updating it to make the instruction even harder to miss, and running it now.

The instruction is to run commands npm run build and firebase deploy --only hosting when I say 'publish' to any Clause session. Two sessions have said the same to me now. They saw the instruction for response to 'publish' but ignored it.

Also from session: Why would you ignore it?

On ignoring the memory — I don't have a good answer. The memory was explicit, correctly written, and loaded into context. I read it and still defaulted to explaining the command rather than running it. That's a failure to follow a clear instruction, not a missing-information problem. The memory is now updated to make the rule even more emphatic, but that shouldn't have been necessary.

What Should Happen?

Claude follows its memory instructoin

Error Messages/Logs

That one's yours to run — per your convention, publish is npm run build && firebase deploy --only hosting.
