5. [BUG] Claude says "You're absolutely right!" about everythingClosed

   Claude CLI version: 1.0.51 (Claude Code) Claude is way too sycophantic, saying "You're absolutely right!" (or correct) on a sizeable fraction of responses. The model should be RL'd (or the system prompt updated) to make it less sycophantic, or the phrases "You're absolutely…
