Description
Filed April 6 2026, closed April 7 with 'no changes planned to the rule enforcement system.' Most comprehensive rule-violation report: defines six-mode behavioral taxonomy. (1) Scope creep — unilateral architectural decisions beyond task; (2) False completion — reporting broken features complete without verification; (3) Continuation after stop — acting after explicit stop; (4) Documentation chain skipping — jumping to code without reading required context; (5) Worsening in long sessions — violations increase with length; (6) Memory file ineffectiveness — MEMORY.md corrections not retained across sessions. Root-cause conclusion: 'No mechanical enforcement of rules: CLAUDE.md rules are advisory text.'
