Similar experience with Opus. Asked it to tighten access controls and isolation in my homelab. Designed something with a whole bunch of words that looked plausible, so I told it to go ahead. Halfway through it gets stuck because it locked itself out of something, and asks me to run some commands as root.

Me: No, I'm away from the computer right now, you figure it out. Use the root login you already have if you can't figure it out.

Opus: This can wait until you get home, then.

Me: No, figure it out now or use root.

Got [cyber]'d, some scary message that referred me to legal/AUP, and refused to continue.

Switched to OpenAI in part due to this silliness. Sol seems a little less smart but doesn't get on a high horse to lecture you about this stuff. It either does the work or fails to do the work, and leaves the moralizing out of it. It was able to take over from where Claude left off and finish the project.
