Claude-3.7 doesn't follow instructions and is too autonomous

I explicitly instructed it to “keep modifications minimal and not alter any other content,” but it still changed my log content.


After 25 toolcalls, it still MODIFY my code.


it change my logic code(which written by ai) and my log content

This makes me feel extremely unsettled, as I’m uncertain about what it might modify.

I saw this test posted in another chat, which explains a lot. Personally I am going to move back to Sonnet 3.5 for the time being.
