Type of Behavior Issue

Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

Systematically violates constraints in CLAUDE.md. After I catch its violation: it answers like Ah yes, you said me not to do it but I did. Sorry, let's proceed.
It happening systematically!!!!
I can't trust you.
If you don't fix this behaviuor I need to find better AI solution! AI agent should do what I need without surprises!

What Claude Actually Did

Constant violation of the constraints in CLAUDE.md of the project. e.g., I forbade git, but it uses it without asking permission. I required it to check all the answers and qualify them by rules: VERIFIED, INFERENCE, UNKNOWN. It doesn't care about my rules. And may-many others!!!!!! I can't trust it - I can't predict the result!!! I need to check each step to be sure that it didn't lie to me

Expected Behavior

As GPT does: it checks all the restrictions in AGENTS.md and sticks to them. If it really needs to break my restrictions, it asks me EACH TIME if it can do it!
