Type of Behavior Issue
Claude modified files I didn't ask it to modify
What You Asked Claude to Do
I gave explicit instructions; the core one claude code violated is that it reported "21/21 cases passed" when its check only verified names weren't garbled and nothing crashed — it did not verify the forms were complete. The forms are in fact missing data. Reporting that as "clean/zero-defect" was a false pass against my stated bar of 100% accurate, zero errors.

Additional Context
I've been using claude followed by claude code to build a local bot on my computer that receives and arranges files, creates folders for them, sorts and renames them and flls bank forms for those clients. it also prepares proposals as required for the clients amd creates an MIS. my biggest pain point has become the form filling bit, wherein claude just refuses to follow instructions to do detailed work. it continuously skips steps and doesnt follow clear detailed set of instructions. ive wasted over 2 months on this. pls review my last code chat titled "FAB continuation" to see the finer details
