What's Wrong?
I've seen similar bugs to this posted, but the languages seem to be far more similar. In this instance, interweaving a Russian word for English, it seems more misaligned with the expectation.
i was talking to claude opus 5 and it wrote me "...My честный recommendation on order:..."
I asked claude about it
❯ why did you write: честный to me?
⏺ That was an error on my part — a stray token. It should have read "my honest recommendation." No hidden meaning;
nothing about the content changes.
Nowhere in its context was anything related to Russian. I presume it is due to the fact that:
че́стный
The Russian word честный (pronounced chest-nyy) translates to honest, fair, or truthful in English. It describes a person who tells the truth, does not cheat, or an action that is done fairly and legally.
