Ah yes, I understand, but that's expected and actually desirable, it's preferable than having inconsistent project patterns across the project introduced by multiple LLMs. Imagine the mayhem. It's important to do a first pass cleaning up and preparing code before unleashing agents onto it, similar to how Working Effectively with Legacy Code advocates approaching consolidated codebases. After that the agent will actually pick up the new pattern and start propagating that to the rest of the code. |

That’s a good idea in general, but the whole point of the rewrite was that Fable wasn’t capable enough of fixing the old codebase which we were using as a reference.
Another problem I had in another project was with having “sample” code purely written for testing being used as the architectural guidance, despite comments and repeated memories asking not to.
In the end, by the way, the solution was to simply blocking access to specific files, in the Claude settings.json.
But still Claude tried to cheat by running ‘cat file.cpp` a few times, so…
