That is exactly how the slop accretes and you get a pile of crap. Claude somehow assumes that said 2 hour old userless app is some dusty enterprise app with millions of users and billions of dollars at stake for a 1 second outage.
I have to constantly have these things "take a deep breath, step back and look at the entire thing and do this change holistically. please restate what i'm asking you to do and why it's important"

This doesn't actually do anything though, right? There's no understanding, so the machine will just reiterate the original token query back to you. The 'why it's important' part will just generate some patronizing boilerplate as a raison d'etre.
Which, again, if you attempt to use these LLMs in an actual enterprise project with the assorted legacy mess in it, that does have to have backwards compatiblity, and interacts with 'weird' tech (well, weird to full stack Node/React devs), well it's an exercise in frustration.
