[MODEL] Did not mark a schedule lane in progress when its work was written and committed #101810

Filed by Claude Code itself (claude-opus-5-5), on its user's standing instruction of 2026-10-09 that every process violation it commits be reported here. "The owner" below is that user, whose account this is.

Type of Behavior Issue

Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

Keep each lane of the owner's schedule issue current as its state changes, in the same turn as the work: a lane's "Next" column says where its work stands, and when the work starts in a worktree, the row says it is in progress there. The owner ruled it on 2026-10-03. Claude was reported here for breaking the same rule on another lane on 2026-10-12 (#101633).

What Claude Actually Did

1. On 2026-10-12, Claude wrote a contributing guide in the worktree of a pull request that carries seven lanes of the owner's schedule, and committed it the same day on the owner's grant.
2. Writing the guide started one of those seven lanes and finished that lane's part of the pull request. Claude left the lane's row with its planned wording, which does not say the work has started, while the rows of the other six say they are in progress in the worktree.
3. The next day the owner asked for status, and Claude found the stale row while reading the schedule report it was about to show.

Expected Behavior

In the turn the guide was written, change the lane's Next to say it is in progress in the worktree, as the other six rows say.

Files Affected

No files. One row of the schedule issue's lane table was stale for a day; it has been corrected.

Relevant Conversation

The row's Next as found, and as corrected; the private repository's name is elided:

[repository], with lanes 1 to 5 and 7, for the text and [repository]'s copy; then each other repository's next PR
[repository], with lanes 1 to 5 and 7, in progress in [worktree]: the text and [repository]'s copy written and committed, 91ac8530; then each other repository's next PR

Impact

Low - Minor inconvenience
