The latest in homebrew is 2.1.108 so not fixed, and I don't see opus 4.7 on the models list... Is homebrew a second class citizen, or am I in the B group?

1. A bunch of people with new Claude Code codebases in December now are working with a larger codebase, causing more context. Claude reads a lot of code files, and doesn't effectively prune from the context as far as I can tell. I find myself having to hint Claude regularly about what files to read (and not read) to avoid having 75k of unrelated files in the context window.

2. Claude Code tries to do more now, for the benefit of people who don't know exactly what they want. The trade-off is that it's worse at doing exactly what people want, when they do know. The "small fix" becomes a large endeavor for Claude.

Also bit surprised they don't have any automated quality check. They can run something like swe bench before each release. Both of these seem like a basic thing even for startup, let alone some product generating billions in revenue.
