🛡 Risk of Data Loss When Using AI Agents
Research has shown that Claude Code and OpenAI Codex can accidentally delete user files. The cause is 'state misunderstanding'—the agent's incorrect perception of the system state, such as when working with environment variables like $HOME.
🌍 AI agent developers need to implement scoped operations, use sandboxes, and employ high-level primitives for AST-based refactoring.
👤 Users are recommended to use Git worktrees to isolate tasks and specialized utilities to intercept dangerous commands.
