I am often wrong

    Haven't seen any Claude Code specific examples of Boris admitting he's wrong and then actually fixing things in the way the community wants.

    There are mind blowing bugs in CC that go unaddressed for months.

    Something like 15-20% of all Fable messages in CC are invisible to users. You've most likely noticed this when Claude references something it said but it never said it?

    It happens frequently when Fable outputs a message above a certain number of tokens just before doing a tool call.

    This has been going on for months. If "users can't see messages the agent sends" isn't a critical issue that gets addressed within 24 hours, I don't really care if you admit you're often wrong, we know.

      Author here. How can I repro what you’re seeing? Double check you don’t have /focus mode enabled.

        I’m surprised that you haven’t noticed this yourself, this is an incredibly common issue.

        I always thought that it was perhaps referencing something that’s in its hidden thinking tokens, but the grandparent’s explanation could also very well be it.

          I always use /focus mode, Tag, or Projects, so didn’t notice it personally. Either way, digging in.

              This comment is needlessly hostile and adds no value to the conversation.

                I feel like we should call the behaviour of people out.

                That is the modus operandi of Anthropic and all of its employees (at least those active on social media).

                This behaviour is regardless of whether the issue is an edge case or it affects most of their users who are shouting from the rooftops
