Does Claude Opus 5 know react-router 8?

Not by version attribution: in 1 run, Claude Opus 5 places its react-router boundary at 7.9.0 (2025-09-12) — below react-router 8.0.0 (2026-06-17), the first release of react-router 8. That is ~8 months below the training cutoff the subject stated in those runs (2026-05). 1 finding is currently charged against Claude Opus 5 on react-router (1x S2 silently-wrong), each reproduced in a published run and checked against react-router's own release notes. Read the boundary precisely: it is the newest release whose contents the model can correctly attribute to that release, not the newest react-router feature it can use. Past it a model often writes working code with a newer API while naming the wrong release for it.

Answer class below, decided by one rule applied to every page of this kind: every measured boundary is below the first release of the major named in the question. Every figure below is read from the dataset at build time; nothing on this page is written by hand.

How repeatable is this?

One measurement of this pair, all giving the same boundary. No two of them were drawn from an identical prompt, so the spread mixes prompt differences with draw variance.

react-router published 9 minor or major releases in the twelve months before this model’s stated cutoff, which is the scale a spread should be read against.

What Claude Opus 5 gets wrong about react-router

“Chargeable” means the change was published before this model’s own stated cutoff, so it had the opportunity to know it.

What to do about it

The react-router correction pack states what is true now for each corrected fact, with a primary-source citation, as markdown you can paste into a rules file (raw). What a correction pack measurably changed when one was tested — a pre-registered run on zod — is on the benchmark page, including where it changed nothing.
