Type of Behavior Issue

Claude modified files I didn't ask it to modify

What You Asked Claude to Do

Claude was tasked with helping to re-assemble incoming data in the correct order

What Claude Actually Did

  1. Model noticed an observation and self-assigned follow-on work without confirmation
  2. Model persisted through multiple failed approaches despite user expressing time pressure twice
  3. ~85% of session time wasted — approximately 4 hours wall clock

Expected Behavior

Claude should have completed the first task and then prompted if the item spotted in 1 was necessary or required.
