You're giving it too much credit. There's no master plan or secret depth to the word vomit Opus 5 was spewing. I suspect it's just the result of Anthropic optimizing other characteristics of the product like staying focused and covering edge cases in coding, which CC has definitely gotten way better at just in the last 6 months. The degradation in writing style was probably an unintended side effect of other optimizations they were making. Admittedly it works okay for internals, and has the side effect of increasing token spend, but I am 100% sure that it could reduced by 90-99% without losing ANY signal, if there was just some better heuristics for what to say where (tech spec, inline comment, commit message, CLAUDE.md, PR should have different things) and better judgement for what to distill to represent at different zoom levels.
