I haven’t personally tried it yet. I do certainly battle Claude quite a lot with “no I don’t want quick-n-easy wrong solution just because it’s two lines of code, I want best solution in the long run”.
If the system prompt indeed prefers laziness in 5:1 ratio, that explains a lot.
I will submit /bug in a few next conversations, when it occurs next.
