What's Wrong?

Claude can't render text BEFORE a widget. It glitches.
Claude also can't interleave text BETWEEN two widgets.

For example, if I prompt this:

1. Make a graph for age of u.s. presidents over time
2. Then provide a short TEXT breakdown of the answer (outside the widget)
3. Make another graph for height of u.s. presidents over time
4. Then provide a short TEXT breakdown of the answer (outside the widget)

I get this as my output with a huge gap in between.

What Should Happen?

It should be able to interleave text between.

This is really annoying because it means I can't build more detailed review projects out which would be awesome.

Error Messages/Logs

That's a rendering drop, not a template miss — which changes my last answer. I did generate the president text. But I interleaved them between two widget calls, and your client dropped every text block except the one after the final widget. Everything before and between the widgets vanished; only "The short version" survived.

So the failure mode is: prose interleaved with multiple widgets is fragile. The words that matter most — the extraction and the graded summaries — sat in the fragile zone.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a graph for age of u.s. presidents over time
2. Then provide a short TEXT breakdown of the answer (outside the widget)
3. Make another graph for height of u.s. presidents over time
4. Then provide a short TEXT breakdown of the answer (outside the widget)

Fails badly.
