Little success with 5.4. 5.2 is still the model to beat. Anyone else?

5.2 high still regularly astounds me with it's thoroughness.

No matter how I prompt 5.4, and how many guards rails and "only do what you're told" instructions, it is always over confident and makes plans full of holes.

I asked 5.4 to create a plan for a very specific and sensitive feature. It confidently gave me a plan. I fed it back into 5.2 and 5.2 was like bruh, this plan is horrible and ignores the actual code reality of the repo.

Anyone with similar experience? Any solution? I want to like 5.4 because it's fast, but it reminds me exactly of opus and Gemini. Confidently wrong.

5.4 and 5.3 codex are equally dangerous in my experience.
