Bug Description
Claude continues to ignore memory files, CLAUDE.md, self checking agents and reinvent or ignore prior art. It is very difficult to align on any effort when a simple bug fix comes back as a complete redeign when the problem has already been solved, documnted, and previously implemented. Claude needs a reliable way to "remember" prior state, decisions, and design. It needs a self-check that can fire reliably. We are trying to do it now with agents, but the bottom line is without this claude is just a conventional coder with no critical thinking.
