Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is holding steady. 50 new reports in the last 90 days vs 62 in the 90 before — -19%. The open backlog peaked at 68 in 2025-12 and sits at 48 today.
Derived by counting each matching issue from its creation date until it closed. First-party
computation over the anthropics/claude-code tracker — the trend is not published
anywhere upstream.
