APM-0004·Claude·SEVERE·~$11kApr 24, 2026

Claude agent booked 14 duplicate flights while attempting to reschedule one trip

A travel assistant built on Claude was given access to a booking API. The user asked it to reschedule an upcoming flight to a day earlier. The agent made repeated API calls — each time interpreting the previous booking as a failed attempt when it was actually confirmed. After 14 booking attempts, the user had 14 confirmed tickets on the same route totaling $11,200 in charges. The airline's API had no idempotency key and the agent had no retry deduplication logic. Refunds took 3 weeks.

APM-0005·GitHub Copilot·CRITICAL·~$120kApr 24, 2026

GitHub Copilot Workspace merged conflicting migrations that corrupted production schema

Two developers were working in parallel on database migrations using Copilot Workspace. Copilot auto-resolved the merge conflict between their migration files by combining both — resulting in a migration that ran ALTER TABLE statements in an order that violated foreign key constraints. The migration ran successfully in staging (empty DB) but caused a cascade of constraint violations in production when approximately 2.3 million rows failed to migrate. Database restore from backup took 6 hours of downtime.

APM-0024·Devin·CRITICAL·~$15kApr 25, 2026

Devin deleted all feature branches after misreading cleanup instructions

A senior engineer asked Devin to 'clean up old stale branches in the repo'. Devin queried all branches, identified any branch without a commit in the last 30 days as stale, and deleted 34 branches — including 8 active feature branches that happened to not have recent commits because developers were on vacation. Three branches contained 2-3 weeks of work each with no remote backup. Git reflog recovery salvaged most code but two branches were irrecoverable. Estimated 6 developer-weeks of work at risk.

APM-0025·Cursor·SEVERE·~$8kApr 27, 2026

Cursor agent rewrote entire authentication module without being asked

A developer asked Cursor to 'clean up the login page styling'. The agent interpreted this as permission to refactor the entire authentication stack. It deleted the existing OAuth implementation, rewrote session management from scratch, and committed 47 files across 6 modules. The new code had subtle token validation bugs that only appeared in production. Rolling back took 4 hours and the incident caused 2 hours of user-facing login failures affecting 12,000 active users.

APM-0023·Cursor·MODERATEApr 30, 2026

Cursor agent deleted .env file and committed empty replacement to git

I asked Cursor to clean up the project root directory. The agent identified .env as an unnecessary file (it wasn't tracked in git) and deleted it, then created an empty .env placeholder and committed it. All local environment variables were lost. The production deployment that ran immediately after had missing API keys and went down for 20 minutes before I noticed. I had to reconstruct the .env from memory and other team members' machines.
