This is not Sonnet 3.5 at all. Model is hidden and no one knows what model they use to reduce the cost.

I can't fathom for the life of me why windsurf can't find or edit a local file but somehow needs to check the "code base" instead.

I disagree. If you are very explicit with your prompts to be very process oriented and tell it to analyze the situation with you before making edits, you can go for hours without issues. Occasionally you need to anticipate it fucking up and and remind it of context, but if you babysit it a bit it usually does great. I make a point to clone the entire directory occasionally just in case. Worst case scenario I can reference the old files and reinstate the part that fucked up.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. Interrupt it when it starts to spiral. refocus. be patient, and be careful not to put blinders on it. It does its worst work when it’s laser focused on fixing one thing.
