Dev says Opus 5.5 ignored explicit instructions, bundling the wrong app: 'they lobotomized Opus'

Developer Hayden (@haydendevs) shared an Opus 5.5 failure: he explicitly instructed it to bundle the native Android app and not touch the old Expo version—yet the model bundled the Expo app anyway. He lamented 'its over, they lobotomized opus already,' suggesting the new version has regressed.
The clip is being shared as more anecdotal evidence of quality degradation in the latest Opus release.
