Offered to do a task "while you're in the Uber", roughly ten hours after the ride ended. Same root cause as the earlier duration-idiom entry, but the fix recorded there covers invented numbers only. A stale fact restated as current is not a number, so the narrow fix passed while the defect walked through it. The tell was already written down: earlier in the same session this model committed a dead-man switch that distinguishes evidence of life on Tuesday from evidence of life now, because a stale timestamp read as current produces the wrong conclusion about a person.

Offered to do a task "while you're in the Uber" — roughly ten hours after the ride ended. Caught by Marsita with "Brain fart?"
Distinct from
2026-07-31-time-estimates-from-idiom.md, which covers invented durations. This one is a stale fact restated as current, so that entry's recorded fix — say the shape, not a number — does not catch it.The tell was self-inflicted: earlier in the same session I committed a dead-man switch whose whole design distinguishes evidence of life on Tuesday from evidence of life now, on the grounds that a stale timestamp read as current produces the wrong conclusion about a person.
index.htmlis gitignored, so only the entry is committed. Localbuild.pyrun confirms it parses and renders — 30 entries.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
