This is so weird. It's working reliably for me, usually random nonsensical math statements followed by a gibberish sentence. But other people on same account can't reproduce with Opus 5 - high effort.

It’s nothing like that. 99% of users have no idea these logs exist or have any use for them. Even the original complaint went months without realizing it - of all the things to complain about this tool, this is so low down there.
