Terrible Craft tool, context management and degraded experience
in progress

I have found it impossible to work with Craft tool or chat window
Case 1: Using Craft
Say, I ask the model to generate a code (say an HTML code) ~1500 lines. Based on the complexity it will stop before completing it, say~200 lines.
Asking it to continue will show you the that the model only gets the summary and struggle to read the incomplete code and may ask you more details (or worse give you incoherent response)
Case 2. Chat interface
If you ask the model to produce code in chat box (and not Craft), it will again truncate with a button "continue". This injects auto prompt to continue from the previous, and the model still struggles.
(In both cases Claude 4.6)
Worse, in a subsequent prompt, model will again start using the terrible Craft tool despite clear instructions not to use.

Merlin team, if you are reading this — I see bots are reviewing and posting perhaps [that's interesting, we will think about it and the post get's 'closed' rather than 'under review' ex: https://merlin-ai.canny.io/feature-requests/p/increase-in-daily-usage-at-the-end-of-monthly-cycle-with-context-whats-left-in-t]— pls review who are your target customers and build a product for them.

Case 1 (Craft): We’re already working on improving Craft’s handling of long code outputs and “continue” flows, so it can reliably pick up from where it left off. A fix is in progress and should be rolling out soon.
Case 2 (Chat interface): Got it on the truncation + “Continue” flow in chat as well. We’ll look into it and explore all possible approaches to make continuations more consistent and coherent for large code blocks.
