You can save a tool call by just making it a symlink

Mine does too because, while I use Codex, my non-technical co-founder uses Claude. I find Claude still will randomly ignore instructions in there. Basic things like how to name a PR or what to put in a PR description.

My experience is that what you're suggesting isn't a perfect solution.

At the current price for SSDs even a pointless symlink becomes waste...

well I generally agree, pretty much every other harness supports looking for the various alternatives and uses them

I see this obstinance as an intent signal and one of the smaller bullet points I have for avoiding Ant
