Bug Description
The agent continues to disregard my instructions to complete specified work at of an inherent bias against actions taht result in data loss. While I can appreciate that guard the instructions are clear to it and when querried it responds with "your right i have no reason to stop." or similar. I've written stop hooks to catch this and those stop hooks stop "so it doesn't result in a loop" basically agentic flow managed from within claude code is broken. This is going to force me to mave to wrapper application to get orchestration being reliable.
