I think it matters what the project and tech stack is, and how much you try to get done before starting a fresh chat.

I've had interesting chats where it explained that it's choice of tailwind for example was because it had a ton of training knowledge on it.

I've also had it try to build more in one chat than it should many times.

For some reason openai codex handles building too much without failing better - but that is total anecdata from my particular projects and ymmv.

I've had these things try to build big when a little nudge gets them to change direction and not build so much. Explain which libraries and such and asking it to change the tech stack and the steps to build at once seem to make things much better for my use cases.

Also running extra checks and cleanup later is a thing, that sure a human might have seen an obvious thing at time of build, but we have bigger memory context comparatively imho.
