Personal observation: Opus 5, over the last week, has started outputting A LOT more comments. Despite my global instructions being full of variations on "don't use comments unless absolutely necessary".

I might be imagining things of course. But comments would be great fit for this use case.

They have mentioned that their system prompt used to say "avoid over-commenting" and it no longer does. They should bring that back IMO.
