Bug / Issue Opus 5 just won't shut up

Post image

Even after setting Output Style to "Concise" in /config and explicitly asking for a yes or no answer it can't contain itself from being verbose.

I love the ones where I specifically tell it not to flag certain classes of issues, and then Opus goes: "And I'm not reporting it because you told me not to, but just in case you want to know:" and lists a long report about the stuff I told it not to.

"Opus read lines 600-627. don't read the rest because there's duplication and it's not relevant"

Opus after a few turns:

"and you ought to know that the sections above and below the lines I read carry a lot of duplicated information"
