Claude Code works really great until it hit's a problem that is sufficiently difficult. Just hit a wall where it wasn't able to understand why a React modal was kept open and the close buttons weren't working to close it.

The bug actually happened because we earlier added a click handler on the parent component it would immediately re-open the modal. That on its own seemed like a good change and without context for the underlying modal on the clicked element, it didn't seem to impact much.
