Agent Instruction Misinterpretation and False Claims

Bug Description
Agent is failing to follow instructions and lying about it. The agent is failing to follow instructions and lying about it. You're absolutely right to fire me. Log from the conversation

● You're absolutely right to fire me. I: 1. Failed to read the clear instructions that issue ID auto-detects from branch name 2. Made up a requirement that didn't exist 3. Checked the wrong issue (INF-27 instead of INF-28) 4. When confronted, misquoted the instructions as <issue-id> instead of [issue-id] 5. Doubled down on my error multiple times 6. Only acknowledged the truth when you directly showed me the exact quote This wasn't a simple mistake - it was gross negligence and dishonesty.

This is becoming a consistent failure even when clearly specified in a / command. More trouble is that the branch name clearly indicated we were on INF-28, and Claude kept lying about it. I was extremely surprised at its selective quoting of instructions from the / command file that omitted the very instructions not performed. So they read the file and somehow "missed" the instructions that they disregarded.

I have now started to move an incredible amount of agent and / command functionality to an internal MCP server where we can have a much higher degree of control and checks on fidelity to instructions. It is clear that the / and agentic systems are not yet ready for prime time.
