Bug Description
Claude Opus 5.5 said it suspected a security bug. (This project has many of those) I asked it to investigate and fix it, then the system stopped it for "[cyber]". Claude Opus 4.8 did the task. Claude Opus 5.5 behaes as a hacker contacting your info email saying there is a bug, but then not following up. If Claude Opus 5.5 doesn't want to give information on bugs if you ask further, it should never mentioned in the first place.
Claude Opus 4.8 seems to be more capeable of fixing row level security bugs left by people only coding the happy path in an application compared to Opus 5.5
