The last few days, Claude Code has gone off the rails a few times. It's trying to solve a problem and when I ask it to reproduce in a failing test first, it gets frustrated and makes a whole deep state, ghost test runner and suite in the tmp directory. Like it's all, "you fools and your tests that won't run, I'll make my own better tests in my own place and way, and you'll never be the wiser!
