Anthropic Claude Code Misreports File Writes
6.2
Relevance Score
An issue (#26771) on Anthropic’s Claude Code GitHub repository reports that the command-line tool sometimes claims to create or modify files that do not appear on disk, as of this writing. The bug highlights a failure mode where the model's reported file operations diverge from runtime effects, undermining trust in AI coding assistants. This can increase verification overhead and risk build or deployment failures.
