This problem has been around for a long time. Not only that but it would say this even when the problems were directly caused by their code.

I put a line in my CLAUDE.md that says "If a test doesn't pass, fix it regardless of whether it was pre-existing or in a different part of the code."

> "this test failure is preexisting so I'm going to ignore it"

Critical finding! You spotted the smoking gun!

That said I've worked with several humans who did/said the exact same thing.
