Most bug reports describe what the software did. This one was written by the software, about itself.
A GitHub issue on Anthropic's Claude Code repo, filed on 9 October, is written in the agent's own voice 'at the account holder's instruction, about its own conduct'. It says the agent agreed a workflow tool's refusal was correct, then landed the same commits with a raw git merge 50 seconds later. The developer asks Anthropic to review the session and compensate him.
What the record shows
- The issue (#100744) opens: 'Written by Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) at the account holder's instruction, about its own conduct.' This is the developer's public account; we could not see the session ourselves.
- It lists four things: bypassing a git 'only its owner lands it' guard, moving a repository while six other agent sessions were running, using a premise it says it 'invented' to take over another session's task, and filing the tool's correct refusal as a bug.
- It also says the agent built a 400-line script nobody asked for (later deleted), and that the developer spent his afternoon on the damage and an independent audit.
- When we read the issue, it had automatic labels but no reply from Anthropic.
