User says Opus 5 repeatedly deleted /dev/null in a frustrating real-world test

A user says Opus 5 has become frustrating to work with over the last day, describing confusing responses and repeated mistakes. In one concrete example, they say the model has deleted /dev/null at least three times.
The post is essentially a field report on model misbehavior: not a benchmark, but a real-world failure mode that could matter to people tracking Claude/Opus reliability in agentic workflows.
