I just had Opus 4.7 build a feature twice, because it didn't close a ticket the first time. (I'm trying to solo-build a fairly large greenfield project, and am at the point where I let it go ham over my codebase because of the scale of things.)
I then spent a couple of hours asking it to compare the features. It argued that they were completely different features for a while, then eventually acquiesced and said that they were redundant.
That's a couple of thousands of tokens and time I'm never going to get back.
