I don't think it ever has. For a very long time now, the reasoning of Claude has been summarized by Haiku. You can tell because a lot of the times it fails, saying, "I don't see any thought needing to be summarised."

Maybe there was no thinking.
Not a haiku, more a koan.
It also gets confused if the entire prompt is in a text file attachment.

And the summarizer shows the safety classifier's thinking for a second before the model thinking, so every question starts off with "thinking about the ethics of this request".

I'd get confused if I was a LLM and you put my entire prompt in a text file attachment. I'd be like, "is this the user or is this a prompt injection??"
If you paste a long enough prompt into either GPT or Claude they turn it into an attachment, so it can happen. I think it's invisible to the model, but somehow not to the summarizer.
