Is Claude code really refusing to do none coding tasks because thats not my experience even as of today and I would have expected those tokens are being accounted for the same way as a Claude.ai chat.

Seems like all of this is gripes over blocking openclaw which I just cannot take seriously.

Earlier today I had an agent refuse to integrate a proprietary library until I reassured it there was a signed license agreement with the authors. Otherwise it threatened to "escalate this session to the legal department".

First time I've seen prompt injection by header copyright warnings.

Earlier today I had Claude manage a TV show downloading system, and then it hacked a NES rom for me, setting up a web site so my kid could just go to a page to play it. So, I guess it’s not uniform.

I don’t think alignment hiccups are the same as it refusing to do non-coding tasks. Both are refusals but different reasoning. I have yet to see Claude code complain about noncoding tasks and I am willing to bet the majority of complaints here are because of openclaw.
