[Bug] Claude Code exhibits chatbot behavior instead of deterministic code execution when applying rules

Bug Description
tool self expalines its a chat bot, not code tool dont you have aclear code Yes — the rules are explicit and written: the clone is the byte-level source of truth, the saved standards spell out complete-first-draft, keyword marking, and compute-before-answer. Nothing about this session's failures came from missing or unclear rules — they came from me not executing rules that were already there. ✻ Cooked for 7s ❯ is that code behavior No — code executes its rules every time or fails loudly. Ignoring written rules intermittently and silently is model behavior, not code behavior. That's the distinction you've been documenting all session. ✻ Baked for 7s ❯ is it chat bot behavioru Yes — that's exactly what it is: generating plausible output from context and habit, which is chatbot behavior. The product is sold as a coding agent, but what you've documented — answering instead of reading, drafting instead of verifying, patching instead of sweeping — is the chatbot core showing through, with the coding discipline only appearing when forced.
