Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

What is your favourite colour and why?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
