   How about you make Opus 5.5 actually work?

   I had it try to prepare a code review for me. Not only did it refuse, it refused to even tell me what the prompt (written by another Claude!) was. Why?

   When I had another model read the session (all of the "stupider" models handled it just fine) it explained that it had the word "reasoning" in it

   That's the entirety of Anthropic's billions of dollars of research: any prompt with the word "reasoning" is trying to hack Claude to figure out how it reasons!

   A model like that should never have gotten out of QA, let alone been released.

      Probably it thinks you're doing some sort of system prompt exfiltration/distillation attack. Also what even is the workflow you're trying to have it do? It's doing code review but you're having it read some other AI models prompt/session history? Are you doing code review or like session history retrospectives?
