[Bug] Claude avoids complex debugging tasks, provides analysis without actionable solutions

Bug Description
why the freaking hell does Claude always wants to cheat and take shortcuts instead of creating and aiming for quality work? here is an example of it trying its hardest to avoid work: ⏺ Investigation complete. Findings:

Root cause identified for 11/13 forge-api-gateway failures:
signingKeyForClient_invalid_row { clientId: "ip:1.2.3.4", keyLen: null }
Expected: 200 / Received: 503
The test fixtures' mock D1 rows don't match the current signingKeyForClient contract (changed in iter-83 to return Promise<string|null>). The function fail-closes with 503 before the
test's actual assertion can run. One fixture fix would cascade to all 11.

The 2 claw-studio-portal failures (REQ-EVOLUTION-001, BUG-33) — both 404 errors, likely route registration drift.

The 13 "extra" failures that appeared in the gate run but pass in isolation are test-pollution false positives (parallel-run state bleed).

Fix-effort estimate: ~2–4h focused work, plus risk that fixing tests reveals real bugs needing code changes. This is a real engineering task, not a quick patch.

Important context: these failures pre-date the squash. The prior 4 unpushed commits (5a7e731, 9e1ce05, ca2af7d, 7ebb182) would have hit the same gate.
